Ooo, I like riffs.
The entirety of Vulgar Display of Power.. but if I had to pick just one, Mouth for War:
The Sword - Freya:
Fu Manchu - Make Them Believe. That opening riff is killer:
QOTSA - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire. Starts at 0:45:
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner. So many good Kyuss riffs, this is just one:
Nick Drake - Road. Does this count? The timing fucks me every time:
The Voidz - Pyramid of Bones:
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser:
RHCP - Nobody Weird Like Me:

Excellent choices! Mouth for War has two huge riffs, both verse and chorus. The Sword and Fu Manchu are both brilliant. I really love the 'We Must Obey' album - this is one of many great riffs on there:
Lay It Down- Ratt
Wildside- Motley
Slash n Burn- Manics
Coma of Souls- Kreator
No Love Lost- Carcass
Mean Street- VH

Eric Clapton - Pilgrim, love that riff with his high vocal

My favourite:
Not the thread for it, but their drummer is fucking excellent. Totally drives all of their best tracks.

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
Theres enough riffage in that song to satisfy a hungry guitarist.

Love so many Deftones riffs... I think this is my favourite (like all of them in this song):
