Songs with sweet guitar riffs?

I've been playing Stairway to Heaven and Purple Haze for a long time, and I need more music to learn.

Can anyone recommend songs with sweet guitar riffs?

Edit: Please note that I don't have any fancy looping devices or pedals or anything like that. It's just me, my guitar, and my amp. So please don't recommend songs if it seems like they require effects to be played accurately.

Avenged Sevenfold - Trashed and Scattered, Bat Country, Sidewinder
Tool / A Perfect Circle
Rammstein - Adios
Audioslave / RATM - Tom Morello has some pretty sweet solos
 
Aerosmith's first few albums are loaded with great riffs...walk this way is a great example.

The riff in "Fairies wear boots" Black Sabbath, is another favorite of mine.

The intro Riff to "Layla" derek and the dominoes.
 
Oh, and Jackyl - Headed For Destruction has got a killer riff if you've heard of them. I can almost smell the saw gas everytime i hear it.

Wow, haven't heard that tune in a long time.

It's like Viagra for my ears 🙂

Such a good band that many younger musicians will prolly never get.


How about??

Dream Theater: Under a glass moon

Great thread, I've been trying to think of new stuff to learn myself.

I can play the intro to SRV's Little Wing, I should learn the rest of it.
 
Funny...I read your title on the main page and immediately thought "Stairway to Heaven." I guess it's a staple when learning how to play the guitar. Good luck with that, OP! 🙂
