Why the song 'Whole lotta love' is making news
What’s this? A song.

So what about it? It’s been named the best guitar riff of all time. Jimmy Page at his blistering best.

Really? Was there a poll? BBC Radio 2 conducted a poll; it set up a panel of DJs, music critics and record producers to draw up a list of 100 riffs and asked listeners to vote. The results were out on Monday.

Radio? Who listens to radio nowadays? There are people who listen to the radio for music.

And not watch youtube? Who sang this song? Seriously dude. Have you heard of Led Zeppelin?

Guessed as much. Dinosaurs of rock. Who else are there on the list? "Sweet Child O’ Mine" by Guns ’N’ Roses at No. 2, AC/DC’s "Back in Black" at No. 3, Deep Purple’s"Smoke on the Water" and Derek and The Dominoes’ "Layla" at No. 4 and 5.

Sort of oldies countdown, Is it? No beyonce? Why Beyonce? She doesn’t have guitar riffs in her songs. SAYS WHO? HAVE YOU CHECKED MTV’S VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS? No. Didn’t know something like this exists.

What a performance! Really?

Queen bey rules, dude. You should stop listening to these ancient chants. I quite like "Whole Lotta Love".

They should ban uncles like you from conducting polls. Let’s listen to some classics.
