    The intro to "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix...You can hear the influence of that riff in songs like "Under the Bridge' by RHCP and "Yellowledbetter" by Pearl Jam. Hendrix was a genius.

    This might stretch the definiton of "riff", but that opening guitar from the Stones' "Gimme Shelter" kills me.

    I don't really care which one is the greatest, but I kind of like Back in Black and Iron Man.
