Top 10 most famous Piano Riffs

[EDEN]

Am working on a project at the moment where I want to include what are commonly regarded as the 10 biggest dance music piano lines of all time...

when I say biggest, i mean, most sampled, most played in clubs, most memorable...probably butchered to death, probably far from the best but always get the biggest hands in the air reaction for whatever reason...

I'd love to know what people think

I'll start the ball rolling with this...
