Well that riff is helped out a ton by the drums, but its still one of the most loved guitar riffs.
I think when we consider what riffs matter most, we shouldn't look at rock fans, but fans of other genres who generally don't like rock but still love that riff.
Its crossover appeal is nearly universal, its primal, it a booty shaker surrounded by some classic rock thunder and its absolutly untouchable.
I think it should have been in the top 5.
