Dreamtale - Two Hundred Men

 

[Mainline]

Opeth - Blackwater Park, Benighted, Master's Apprentices

The Beatles - I Feel Fine (even though Lennon ripped it off from Bobbie Parker)
The Beatles - Things We Said Today

Many great ones have already been mentioned.

The Yardbirds have some quality guitar riffs but I've only been open to them recently and can't recall a few song titles.
And can somebody tell me where Beastie Boys unstoppable riff from 'Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun' is derived from? I'm sure the guitar chugging is more powerful in the context the Beastie Boys created but I'd still like to know.
