Anything RUSH. I have never heard a 3-man band produce the complexity of music they could. Subdivisions was my fav for a long time. But Force Ten, Limelight, Red Barchetta, with the harmonics, I could just go on and on. They are the Kings of Riff. Neal Peart is the greatest drummer. Ever.

P.S. Alex and Geddy are no slouches, either!

The opening riff to Love Removal Machine by The Cult gets stuck in my head quite often:

Failure-Stuck on You (Best distorted piano to begin a song in history...and most folks think it's a guitar)

The most underrated band of all time. I love these guys immensely. Ken's solo stuff is incredible as well.

As for the 90s, the main riff (starts @ 0:28) to Unsung by Helmet is just timeless:

Love the first 40 seconds of this track I'll never forget this one lol! The whole song is great but I love that lil intro.

"He was once a thug from around the way..." and the bass line makes me wanna go out and buy a bass guitar just so i can play it myself haha!!

^The opening riff to Machine Head is amazing... One of my fav riffs of all time.

The opening line to this song is awesome IMO:

Also love the intro/verse riff in this song:

Seether has a TON of great riffs IMO.

"Push you across that line, just stay down this time. Hide in yourself, crawl in yourself. You'll have your time. God, I'll make them pay, take you back one day. I'll end this day. I'll splatter color on this gray"

Epic and up there on my favorite lyrics of all time.
