Just to make sure these are mentioned in this thread:
Television - "Little Johnny Jewel"
Jorge Ben - "Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)"
Neil Young - "Barstool Blues"
Polvo - "Bat Radar"
and while not written for guitar, Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser" is permanently lodged in my head.

"Custard Pie" - led zeppelin
"Sleep now in the fire" - ratm
"plug in baby" - muse
"the power of independent trucking" - big black
"louie louie" - (take your pick)
I think that pretty much covers it.

There are lots - but the one that always sticks in my mind is the opening riff from Tumbling Dice, the cool, slowly descending thing. Something about it is so emotive for me, & it's all of 3 seconds long, if that.
But the best riff ever is all of Supernaut. This song is on Black Sabbath Volume 4.

Here are 5 off the top of my head -- hard to think of THE top five. That would take forever to figure out.
1. Interstellar Overdrive - Pink Floyd
2. Bombers - Tubeway Army
3. Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young
4. 59 Times the Pain - Husker Du
5. Making Time - The Creation/You Really Got Me - The Kinks (tie)
Jupiter's Thunder! Now I'm thinking of a bunch more that I could mention. This is too hard to narrow down!
