Jaime's title hooked me in here, what guitar riff from Linkin Park had the greatest riff of our generation.  Theres something about Linkin Park unlike Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, bands I would listen to at this time that I cant remember a single riff, I can think of Chesters vocals, or the unique scratching they did, but mostly the songs were a whole piece.  What riff is he talking about.

The very first note of "One Step Closer" plays and I'm immediately transported back to 2003 sitting in my garage watching [HuevosIII](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoQ6fUTuYvg&list=PLoSp9yq_oDOdCOfCp_QTS017cjAi4Cv_0&index=2) on repeat.  I can still remember the timing that Wes Miller did on the edit.  I can see the riders I looked up to for so long riding in formation.

Turns out this riff is so recognizable it takes me exactly where I was when I listened to it hundreds of times.
