I love the riff that opens "Tightrope" by Stevie Ray.

More a 'chord' than a riff, but 'Hard Day's Night' by the Beatles.

COCAINE - Eric Clapton

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream is very similar, and WAYYYYY better.

Crossroads by Cream is great too.

This is a great thread, I need to think about my answers more...

I'm blanking on a good Slayer one. South of Heaven has a nice intro riff I suppose. Any have any ideas?

For Slayer, I'd definitely pick Raining Blood(The real opening, after the sound effects, not the beginning on the CD that should be part of "Postmortem")
