Any mode can be used to create the melody of a song. Or can be used to build a chord progression for a song.
The thing that makes a riff or song distinctive, like a ACDC riff for example, is more than the mode used. It's how the notes of the mode are grouped into chords & what specific rhythmic devices are used.
Lots of rock & blues uses the mixolydian mode. But ACDC sounds very distinctive. That's because each artist develops their own style using all the tools of music, modes, scales, chords, rhythms, clean tones, crunch tones, etc.
Check out this artist study on ACDC.
