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 the sweetest guitar i have ever heard in my life

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
