In all honesty, It isn't their best song, but for just a riff, I think it takes the cake.

My favourite DT one is Home. Not the "wow-wow" riff, the riff at 2:05.
Edit: Actually, I almost forgot. A DT riff thats one of my favourite riffs of all time, the one at 4:44 of The Count Of Tuscany.

Another great one which has been overlooked so far: "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull.
And how about "Bird of Prey" by Uriah Heep? Several great riffs in that one.
Amon Düül 2 had lots of great riffs too, for example "Surrounded by the Stars" or "Archangel's Thunderbird".

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

It maybe inspired by Achilles Last Stand, but Heart's Barracuda has a kicking riff

Heart Of The Sunrise I could listen to for days on end. I'm also finding the main theme of Celestial Elixir by Haken extremely enjoyable! But there's so many out there, it's impossible to choose.

For more generic (but still f**king awesome) rock, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (the album) has a TON of great riffs, more than Back In Black I would say.

The Less obvious"
Robin Trower's Day of the Eagle and same on Procol Harum's Whiskey Train! Wow! Jan Akkerman makes Hocus Pocus (and not Van Leer's yodeling!) resonate. Fripp on LTiA part 2 is sizzling. Killing Joke's Love Like Blood is deadly , the Payolas Eyes of a Stranger is another fave. So many more though,,,,,,
