It may have been a short work week, but the Riffs didn’t stop on 101 WRIF as we celebrate the 101 Riffs Of Summer. The Week 6 playlist featured some of the most iconic riffs of all-time.

From Rage Against The Machine to Judas Priest, we had some absolute classics this week. Make sure to listen Monday through Friday at 2pm for the daily “Riff Of Summer!” Plus, you’ll get two “riffs” on Two-Fer Tuesdays doubling up on some of your favorite WRIF bands.
