This is an impossible topic, but I'll spend the rest of the day thinking about it.

First thing that comes to mind is Boston - Don't Look Back. I remembered it faintly from my childhood but it wasn't on Boston's first album, so I thought I was mistaken. Then one day I heard it on a bus, listened closely for a few lyrics, hurried back to my dorm and googled it. Reunited at last!

Ahh, the days before Shazam and smart phones.
Bruce Almighty

I'll post a longer answer later but "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" by the Stones was the first that came to mind.

Riffs or solos?

If your talking solos game over, it's Jimmy Paige Stairway to Heavan and Freebird played by Allen Collins and Gary Rossington with a STRONG 2nd from Eddie Van Halen in Eruption.

If you're talking riffs, then again, Stairway to Heaven because what is the first riff you learn? Second has to be Cult of Personality by Vernon Reid of Living Colour with a few honorable mentions for riffs by Mick Mars of Motley Crue, Stone Goddard of Pearl Jam, Jay Yuenger of White Zombie and Peter Townhend of The Who.

Although, gotta admit, answers can swing widely depending weather you're drinking or smoking.

Never have/will dropped acid but that also has it's own playlist.

Man no mention of Metallica yet, this is an overall fail.

I'll nominate the main MOP riff.

Also, pantera - walk.

The Highway Song - Blackfoot. Rickey Medlocke works it pretty good in this southern rock anthem.

Lenny Kravitz and that bubblegum bull**** have no place in the midst of these great riffs.
