Some shocking omissions from your lists there guys!
I could just say most of what was written by AC/DC, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Cream, The Who, but that's the easy way out.
In no particular order, and with no claim to being complete:
Smoke on the water - Deep Purple
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Hell's Bells - AC/DC
Sunshine of Your Love - Cream
Black Knight - Deep Purple
Back in Black - AC/DC
Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin/Yardbirds
Out Of Exile - Audioslave
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep
Kashmir - Led Zep
La Grange - ZZ Top
Money - Pink Floyd
Woman From Tokyo - Deep Purple
Tush - ZZ Top
Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
Wishing Well - Free
21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing isn't a riff, IMO)
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
You Really Got Me - The Kinks
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Wall Street Shuffle - 10cc
