dannyboy loves to rank.

Most users here do.

Funny how Iommi came with so many different riffs. He gave each of them an identity of it's own, in a way in which few guitarists have.

Mustaine has some great riffs, but I wouldn't say he came close to having Iommi's breadth in the above regard. Tbh, neither did Downing.

In fact, I don't know of any guitarist who has even come close to achieving that.

Album Rating: 4.5

No one is as prolific when it comes to writing riffs. Iommi is just in a league of his own.

Another prolific riff-maker is Leif Edling from Candlemass.

He's quite underrated in my opinion.



But none comes close to Iommi in terms of consistency.

and heaviness, I mean, Iommi is truly the King of heavy Rock guitar.
