Quo's riffs largely follow a certain pattern. It's the tempo that usually dictates. But those that drift away (see what I did there? ) from the norm can be pretty spectacular. Things like Mystery Song, Coming And Going and even That's A Fact. And I agree; Don't Think It Matters is a thing of beauty.

I think as an opening riff, Caroline takes some beating!

Don't Waste My Time [intro] Not really a 'riff' but it works for me anyhow! G

I'm not a musician so am not sure if this qualifies as a 'riff' but, for me, the intro and continuing lead guitar theme running thru "O Baby", especially when Spud slam down his machine gun fills in between in the mid & closing segments are my personal faves. So was awesome for me they revived it for '13 &' 14...
