Completetly forgot about Godzilla, love that song. But should Kashmir be so high? Isnt it mainly played on keyboard?

Yeah, I forgot that too. Whenever I start to play it my dog starts screaming.

[Liquid Tension]

My favorite is the main theme of Stream Of Conscious by Dream Theater. Its just such a tasteful, yet so sad guitar riff/progression. It just has so much feeling, check it out.

[MalYoung]

Just thought of another - Limelight - Rush

[BRAVESFAN]

Just about every AC/DC riff
Sweet Child O' Mine's opening riff
Crazy Train
Smoke On The Water
Iron Man
Paranoid
Panama
Runnin' With the Devil.
