"I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play." - Ozzy Osbourne
I spent an entire day at a music store last week. I heard this riff quite a lot; from novice players to cats who obviously had some seasoning.
I guess the point is that after 40+ years the riff still resonates. Something powerful there.
