Derek & the Dominos - 'Layla' riff made me want to play guitar.

Pink Floyd - 'Run Like Hell' gets a shout too, because it doesn't get much love.

I probably play the first solo from Comfortably Numb every time I pick up a new guitar. It is always the first thing I think to play.

Where's the riff in that song?

A riff is a short repeated guitar hook, almost a chorus in itself. Very different from a solo.

I reckon 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' is up there, along with the aforementioned 'Back In Black'.
