Protest the Hero - Sequoia Throne intro/outro riff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P40eSurfkqI&feature=related

this ridiculous tapping riff is immediately iconic. I think this song is a perfect introduction to Protest the Hero. Within 10 seconds, you know what this band is all about. The way Luke manages to incorporate the intro riff several times later in the song is brilliant.

The Strokes- Reptilia chorus riff (1:15)

the chorus progression is absolutely brilliant. immediately makes me so happy. i love the interplay between the bass and guitar.

Darkest Hour- Tranquil main riff

this riff just kills. it's the perfect riff for a nearly perfect song. it's just so cool. I can't even think of anything to say about it besides "it's badass"
