Lynyrd Skynyd - You Got That Right
The Beatles - Ticket to Ride
Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin' (This one has a real nice riff) (I'm learning it for the Guitar War!)
I love anything by Page and Brian May, but I have to say the most awesome riff I've heard is He-man Woman Hater by Extreme (after the minute-long shredfest finishes and the song kicks in).
It's so over the top it's brilliant.
In no particular order:
Cockamamie Business - George Harrison
21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Train Song - Phish
Hair of the Dog - Nazareth (The ultimate driving song!)
Living Loving Maid - Led Zeppeling (The other ultimate driving song!)
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Scuttle Buttin - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Over, Under, Sideways, Down - The Yardbirds
Cross-Eyed Mary - Jethro Tull
Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
Outside Woman Blues - Cream
Sunshine of Your Love - Cream
La Grange - ZZ Top
Waiting for the Bus - ZZ Top
Gangster of Love - Johnny Guitar Watson
Dig a Pony - The Beatles
I Want You - The Beatles
Gypsy Eyes - Jimi Hendrix
Truckin' - The Grateful Dead
Matchbox Blues - Stevie Ray Vaughan (So good!)
And... if riffs were words...
The "I know"s from "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" - Van Morrison :lol: I love this song! Just came on in iTunes.
Oh I forgot one! Frankenstein by the Edger Winter Group. Classic. Go buy/download it now.
Cities on Flame-Blue Oyster Cult
Whole Lotta Love-Led Zeppelin
Heartbreaker-Led Zeppelin
Ride the Lightning-Metallica
Ain't Talking 'Bout Love-Van Halen
The intro to Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria is fucking incredible.
I'm amazed nobody has said Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. So simple, but so catchy, and every one recognizes it.
In my local guitar shop, there is a sign banning the playing of "Smoke on the Water" and "Stairway to Heaven".
Mine too, hahaha.
If only I could find a video of Towelie playing Stairway on the Professor Chaos episode of South Park.
