And where/how?

Like, do I click the heart icon for my favorite riff over a SoundCloud?

5pts : @flying_pie - so 80's all it needs is some spandex

3pts : @Springywheel ;- reminds me of something, but I can't think what!

1pt : @stratman3142 - has a slight The Edge feel

Thanks to all that entered. It's good that we ended up with a decent crop.

5 points : @maharg101 ; : I like the style of this one a lot. Psychedelic sleazy rock. Meaty tones.

3 points : @flying_pie ; : Catchy hair metal

1 point : @Habanero ; : Dark and menacing. I think the end bit might have been influenced Chicago's 'I'm A Man'.

@Springywheel 5 points - lovely atmospheric riff, would be interesting to hear this developed with bass and drums

@Wolfram 3 points - really lively riff with a good melody line throughout

@flying_pie 1 point - great strident tone with big hair attitude - would like to have heard more of the 2nd part

Honourable mention for @Habanero - crushing tone and menacing feel

Wait and ye shall receive your wish

Springywheel

In the nick of time - 

@Habanero - my type of jam (reminds me of the original ultimate warrior wwf theme)
@maharg101 - nice laid back groove. 
@flying_pie - I grew a mullet just listening to that. Catchy.

Killing joke perhaps? It's a bad geordie walker impression.
