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

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

The riff after he starts singing in Black Dog (Zeppelin) is pretty sweet.

All my obvious choices have been mentioned:

Black Dog
Sweet Child Of Mine
Layla

so I'll throw out 'Hey Bulldog' by the Beatles
