Just love a heavy well produced guitar riff. Might be a boring answer but that’s the one for me.
I'm also fan of a particular type of guitar riff that I can only describe as "crunchy" with my limited music vocabulary.
The best example I can give is Spirit in the Sky. The lyrics are cheesy, but damn the guitars are fine in that track.
You might be thinking about a sound with a lot of distortion
Spirit in the Sky specifically is a fuzz running on a near-dead battery, so it's a bit of an odd one. I think the broad approach to the sound is fairly popular though. Stone Foxes come to mind as an example
I feel like Moist does amazing crunchy but melodic riffs personally
To this day, nobody knows how they got that unique guitar distortion sound in that song. It's been long-forgotten, even by those that were at the session.
Sometimes stuff is just popular for a good reason. I love loads of different styles of guitar, but I think my favourite heavy riff is probably the chorus one starting at 2:02 in Saor's Children of the Mist
Or maybe Flying Whales because, I mean, it's Flying Whales
The intro to Power by KMFDM and the intro to Sold by Imperanon are two of my favourite riffs, but I love all kinds of heavy/death metal and industrial and hardcore punk rock and classic rock. Just gets my testosterone going. Makes ma ballz buzz.
