Ah! you can't have this list without Stones "Satisfaction" and 'Jumpin Jack Flash'.
If these simple riffs/songs don't sear into your brain permanately then nothing will.
Ok - sorry to come into this thread a little late but I just had to post this.
Thanks for taking the time to list all the riffs/songs here.
It gives me something to check out and learn some more stuff.

Here's an edited list of all the alt.guitar responses for "greatest.
guitar riffs." Thanks for your input. It seems that there have been
a lot of "inspirational" guitar riffs recorded during the last few
decades. Everyone has their own personal favorites. Many of these
choices would also be on any list of mine!
Thanks again,
Lulu : )

Kingsmen - Louie Louie
Free - All Right Now
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love
Alice Cooper - I'm 18

And about 50 more Black Sabbath songs
"Rock And Roll Hootchie Koo" by Rick Derringer
"Mississippi Queen" by Mountain
"Hair Of The Dog" by Nazareth
"Life In The Fast Lane" by The Eagles
Riff Raff by AC/DC
Jimi Hendrix . . . Purple Haze (and most everything he played)
Allman Bros . . . Live at the Fillmore (whole album)
Fleetwood Mac . . . anything with Peter Green
Rolling Stones . . . Jumping Jack Flash
Led Zepplin . . . their first album was killer reworked blues
Buck Owens . . . Don Rich with The Buckaroos is classic stuff
Black Sabbath . . . the first three albums
Howling Wolf . . . Hubert Sumlin is the man and
Wolf scared me to death
Chet Atkins . . . a true player and a gentleman
Rory Gallagher . . . Bad Penny (I saw him live a lot)
Ted Nugent . . . early Amboy Dukes stuff and Stranglehold album
Johnny Winter . . . one of the best live. His throw away fill
licks are guitar lessons in themselves.
A thousand other guitar licks both famous and obscure ! ! !

The Law"

Warrant - "Cherry Pie"
For tasty shred, I'd offer up EVH's "Ice Cream Man".
born to be wild - you know who
just about any AC/DC tune contains a *classic* R&R riff, but back in
black is a list topper.
Mark Farner, Richie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, and Buck Dharma are my
inspirations. :)
