'Smoke On The Water' was released on 1972 and became really famous because of the its central riff (played by Ritchie Blackmore). This riff is one of the most important of all time. It is also considered one of the best songs ever.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' was released on October 1975 and became one of the best songs of all time. It consists of several sections without a chorus, which wasn't usual.

'Highway to Hell' was released on August 1979 and became an instant hit. It is considered the anthem of rock. Angus Young's riff is probably the most known of all time. Definitely, one of the best songs ever. Enjoy this epic song.
