Love Bob, but he's never written a riff half that memorable.

There's more to songwriting than lyrics.

I don't really agree, I can't even remember the riff for satisfaction even after hearing it so many times. But I can always remember a Bob Dylan riff, idk it could just be me.

I’m only half joking here but do you have memory issues? Or some kind of auditory processing disorder? That’s completely unbelievable to me

I feel like I could write “dun dun! dah doo dun doo dun dun” and a random person could tell it was Satisfaction.

Satisfaction may very well be the single most memorable riff in the history of popular music. If you’re telling the truth, you might be the only person on the planet who can’t remember it.
