The riff in Jethro Tull's Aqualung is pretty nice.

A few of my favorites off the top of my head:

Texas Flood - SRV
Voodoo Child - Hendrix
Damn Right I've Got the Blues - Buddy Guy
Layla - Eric Clapton
Jessica - Allman Brothers
Blue Boys Tune - BB King
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer ( Say what you want, incredible riff )

For me there is no better opening riff than the first 8 beats of ,"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".

Pretty much anything Keef ever did, but "Start me Up" gets me every time.

not a fan of his soloing, but when it comes to coming up with riffs and playing rhythms, there aren't many that are his equal.
page, richards, the young brothers up there, but it's just hard to top ed.
i enjoy just listening to his isolated guitar tracks.
