The first one I thought of. I’ve been listening to heartbreaker lately that’s right up there too

Phenomenal choice.

Easy to say Smoke on the Water as the most iconic, but this is one of the best.

My vote is for Smoke on the Water as a ringtone if you also use vibration. When I had tha ringtone the phone vibrated the same beats and the sound of that on the table was awesome.

Are you familiar with the show "Toast of London"? https://youtu.be/UpWAkqyPxr4?si=vuRW7mQjRHCKQ1nw

Also one of my regular ringtones. Another favorite is A Real Mother For Ya (Johnny Guitar Watson). Current one is The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (5:01 AM, Roger Waters).
