Just love a heavy well produced guitar riff. Might be a boring answer but that’s the one for me.
I'm also fan of a particular type of guitar riff that I can only describe as "crunchy" with my limited music vocabulary.
The best example I can give is Spirit in the Sky. The lyrics are cheesy, but damn the guitars are fine in that track.
To this day, nobody knows how they got that unique guitar distortion sound in that song. It's been long-forgotten, even by those that were at the session.
You might be thinking about a sound with a lot of distortion
Spirit in the Sky specifically is a fuzz running on a near-dead battery, so it's a bit of an odd one. I think the broad approach to the sound is fairly popular though. Stone Foxes come to mind as an example
I feel like Moist does amazing crunchy but melodic riffs personally
Sometimes stuff is just popular for a good reason. I love loads of different styles of guitar, but I think my favourite heavy riff is probably the chorus one starting at 2:02 in Saor's Children of the Mist
Or maybe Flying Whales because, I mean, it's Flying Whales
The intro to Power by KMFDM and the intro to Sold by Imperanon are two of my favourite riffs, but I love all kinds of heavy/death metal and industrial and hardcore punk rock and classic rock. Just gets my testosterone going. Makes ma ballz buzz.
