Are we talking about just riffs or extended guitar solos here? Not being a musician of any type, for me a riff is just a brief guitar piece that repeats itself over the course of the song at different stages whereas I see a guitar solo as forming an entire section of the song, anyway whether they are riffs or solos some of my favs over the years are:

Smoke on Water-Deep Purple
Celebration Day-Led Zeppelin
Whole Lotta Love-Led Zeppelin
Purple Haze-Jimi Hendrix
All Along the Watchtower-Jimi Hendrix
Hydra-Toto
Edge of the Blade-Journey
Walk-Pantera
Sunshine of Your Love-Cream
Under the Bridge-Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Also there is an amazing guitar solo by Rich Williams of Kansas on the Masque album but can`t think of the name of the song.
