100 Riffs -- Name That Tune!!

[VulcanRider]

Go here to download a 6MB file in MP3 format.

It's sound bites from 100 rock classics from the '60s, '70s, & '80s. Mostly opening bars but some bites taken from within the song. Some will be instantly recognisable, some will no doubt ring a bell and some may take some thinking to remember what the song is and who sang it. They're separated by a couple drum beats so you can hear each one separately.

Try to list the artist & title. I'll post the answer in a day or two...

No prize, just bragging rights.
