Nice to see the dynamic duos of Tipton/Downing & Young/Young mentioned here:




...and of course, Page & Blackmore couldn't be left out:



But the bottom line is (and this seems to be borne out by the responses), step up to the podium, undisputed King Of The Riff:



All hail!

Page of course (see immigrant song, black dog, the ocean, kashmir, some of the most killer riffs of all time)  Id also agree with Morello,  Dimebag (if not for the song "walk" alone) and Hetfield (Metallica) but i think Thorendall (Meshuggah) is getting overlooked here. absolutely monstrous riffs. 
What im listening to

I forgot about Morello. Not forgetting his ability to make some of the coolest noises with a minimum of effect pedals and a few other items.
