    I'd also add "Napolean Solo" by At the Drive-in and "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

    Most of my favorite riffs come from songs by the Matthew Good Band. Now there is no band, just MG.

    Carmelina, Pony Boy, Man of Action, A Boy and His Machine Gun, The Future is X-Rated, Born to Kill...

    I could basically list pretty much everything he's done, but I won't. :)

    Edit: his cover of Enjoy the Silence esp. deserves a mention.

    Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh

    one of the most identifiable rifts ever conceived

    L.A. Woman - The Doors

    Not the greatest, but pretty good...

    Saturday Nite Special, Gimme Back My Bullets - Lynyrd Skynyrd

    Crossfire - SRV

    Instrumental Illness, Statesboro Blues - Allman Bros. Band

    In the non-rock category - Just about anything by Norman Blake, Ron Block, or Doc Watson
