Top Dropped D songs

MagicPigDetective

Inspired by Rick Beato’s recent video, what are your favourite dropped d riffs or tunes? Limiting this to true dropped d, not eflat/ d standard dropped c etc. My guitars have spent a lot of time in dropped d over the years. The grunge era was when I started playing.

Soundgarden - The masters of droped d? Spoonman is indeed awesome and so much fun to play, but I also love Outshined. And a lot more on Badmotorfinger.
Helmet - pretty much everything, but especially Unsung and Milquetoast
Melvins- I think the first grunge era band to use dropped d. Revolve has several stonkingly good riffs
Smashing Pumpkins - Hummer.

ThePrettyDamned

Lots of black label society. It's drop C/B/A/Db but same idea. 

Avenged sevenfold have some absolute bangers in drop D - the entire of City of Evil is an absolute masterpiece, and all drop D. 

PolarityMan

lots of ones by him on the video still but especially 46&2 and the aenema intro riff
love the my own summer riff by the deftones
outshined by soundgarden also worth a mention
last resort by papa roach another very fun drop D riff

Cinnamon Girl first one that came to mind. Second was the Reef one, although I think the recording might be in D but you can play it in Drop D? I learned the basics of it in Drop D once upon a time. 

Gary Clark Jr uses it for a few things, I’m pretty sure Come Together and Numb. There was one I half learned for a band and I can’t remember which one it was, but anyway he has a bunch.
