Bonus points for a song that has a good part for that instrument.

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.

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.

You might be thinking about a sound with a lot of distortion

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 23 hours ago

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
