Okay so I think that this list is ever-changing and probably incorrect is implied so here goes. My list turned out being mostly nostalgia but still totally true and I love every song in this list.

Boris - The Bell Tower of a Sign
The Sword - Lament for the Aurochs
Thee Oh Sees - Robber Barons
Fuzz - Earthen Gate
Black Sabbath - Into the Void (I feel like its a sin to have a riff list without sabbath)
Wolfmother - Dimension
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
Tame Impala - Lucidity
Sleep - Dragonaut
Electric Wizard - Torquemada 71

I was so close to putting y-control. Great song.

Also I've been looking for that sword song for years. Thanks!

No problem dude! Great list on your end too. When the fuzz in Finger explodes its so awesome and I love how you can tell it's coming even if you've never heard it.

Totally agree with you guys on Finger.

Death From Above 1979 - Little Girl
Ty Segall and White Fence - Time (the outro riff)
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
Jay Reatard - Hammer I Miss You
Thee Oh Sees - Toe Cutter-Thumb Buster
Led Zeppelin - In the Light
The Groundhogs - Cherry Red
Church Of Misery - Blood Sucking Freak (pretty much the whole song is made of big killer riffs, but the one that stands out to me is the groovyish thing around 6 minutes)
Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin - Reverse Shark Attack (the super surfy riff midway through the song, after the drum solo)
