The Led Zeppelin classic 'Whole Lotta Love' has been named the 'best guitar riff of all time' in a new poll by BBC Radio Two.
The iconic rock riff beat off stiff competition from the likes of Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, The Kinks, Pink Floyd and many more. The track won from 100 riffs drawn up by a panel of Radio 2 and 6 Music DJs, critics and record producers.
Reacting to the news, Page told the BBC: "I wanted a riff that really moved, that people would really get, and would bring a smile to their faces, but when I played it with the band, it really went into overdrive.
"There was this intent to have this riff and the movement of it, so it was menacing as well as quite sort of caressing."
The top 10 were:
'Whole Lotta Love' - Led Zeppelin
'Sweet Child O'Mine' - Guns 'N' Roses
'Back in Black' - AC/DC
'Smoke On The Water' - Deep Purple
'Layla' - Derek and The Dominoes
'How Soon Is Now?' - The Smiths
'Down Down' - Status Quo
'Money For Nothing' - Dire Straits
'You Really Got Me' - The Kinks
'Money' - Pink Floyd
