   • One of the riffs from Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas. It's during the last 3rd of the song.
     
     ..and Love Child by Deep Purple.

   • Almost impossible to say
     
     Sweat Leaf
     21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
     Back in Black - AC/DC (though to be fair you could have almost any riff from the Bon Scott era)
     Tush - ZZ Top (or No Class by Motorhead, sam riff)
     Heartbreaker - Ked Zep
     You Really Got Me - The Kinks
     
     ...I give up

   • Impossible to just pick one, but More Human Than Human by White Zombie's always been a personal favourite.

    • Good thread!
      
      The riff that had the biggest effect on my was Kyuss - Thumb. Holy shit!
      
      Metallica - Blackened really gets me going for some reason.
      
      Best riff?
      
      Kashmir has to be up there, it's pretty amazing, yeah. Even without Puff Daddy.
      
      Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Symptom of the Universe rule.
      
      I agree with a lot of the other choices listed here, Hocus Pocus and Sweetleaf etc...

    • Another one of my favorites is...
      
      Handsome: Thrown Away
      
      All of the riffs in this tune are immense. Especially the chorus.

    • Great to have a Handsome mention, what a band, and that's clearly their best song, so heavy in the verse, so epic in the chorus
