Then of course there is Brian May...
 
But he is not a mere mortal so I think it's unfair to include him in our study.

Heh... and that drum solo gets wicked boring just as fast as it used to when I was kid.

Riff - Back in Black



Counterpoint...
 
then again... that's not really a consistent riff.
 
More meandering riffy type chaos.

But out of all the Townsend nerdery I subjected myself to I found this to be the most interesting straight up riff/proggression...

The chords in that are bonkers but you can (urm... have to) wail on them.
 
Bonus: It's of course a song about... well... yanno.

Nothing earth-shattering, but I really like this intro riff by David Rhodes. Simple, but very cool, and the tremelo tone is perfect. He only plays it twice in the whole song.

Live Crossroads without a doubt.
The first 12 bars of Dickie Betts' solo in One Way Out is a close second;
but Clapton "ramped" it up every time the 1 came around.
Dickie not so much in the second 12 bars.
Tone wise, Dickie's Goldtop is a bit "thicker" than the Fool SG.
Just sayin'...
