I like that kid.

Mine would be...

Can Ya Hear Me Knockin'? - Stones

I could say some more but they'd basically be a copycat of Bub's post. So I'll say a bit about Can Ya Hear Me Knockin'... it is said, that after the first solo in this song, that Mick and all the others put down their microphones and instruments and were done with the song, but Keef just kept on playing, and they decided to use it in the song. You can't say that Keef's the best in the world, you just can't, I mean, he's not even lefthanded, but despite that... jesus, the bum's got some skill.

Havent seen this posted yet.

Don't Fear The Reaper-Blue Oyster Cult

Another I personally really like is Banger & Mash

It's astounding how many awesome things you find in weird places. A psych pop riff that reminds me of Sabbath? Hell yes at 0:35.

Boston-Don't Look Back by far.

oh come on. no one's even mentioned ZZ top. and while they're nto one of the top bands ever, they've got some great riffs

Tush-ZZ Top
Heard It On the X-ZZ Top
The Trooper-Iron Maiden
Rock 'n Roll- Led Zeppelin
School's Out For Summer- Alice Cooper
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-The Beatles
Jumpin Jack Flash-The Rolling Stones
Fire-Jimi Hendrix
Money-Pink Floyd
Fly By Night-Rush
Spoonman-Soundgarden
Jimmy Olsen's Blues- The Spin Doctors
Mary Had A Little Lamb- Buddy Guy
Scuttle Buttin- SRV
Kielbasa-Tenaciou D
Jump-Van Halen
Hot For Teacher-Van Halen
Baba Oreily- The Who
Going Mobile-The Who
Won't Get Fooled Again-The Who

While we're on ZZ Top then... La Grange. And I think the I Thank You riff is pretty damn sweet.
