I'm surprised no one mentioned any Hendrix...

For non-stop riffage your can't beat Slayer's Reign In Blood... all 29 and a half minutes of the album jam-packed with riffs!
Metallica - anything from the first 5 albums!
AC/DC - Highway To Hell, Whole Lotta Rosie, You Shook Me... Angus is a riff-master!
Tom Morello's pretty awesome for RATM and Audioslave too... just pick any track you like!

:twisted:

The link doesn't lead to any song - just what appears to be a home page

what about the intro to "Pretty Vacant" by the Pistols. Fro me it's up there with the great intro riffs by the likes of Pete Townsend, but then again I remember just how excited I felt the first time I heard it as a kid.

When I started playing the guitar I thought AC/DC's Thunderstruck was a geat riff but back then I forgot about Johnny B Goode (Chuck Berry), man that intro riff is rock n roll 8)

The solo of My Sharona (The Knack) is about 2 minutes great guitar play too me. Man I always turn it up when playing that. 8)
