That's all I can think of for now
 
As far as keyboards go:



I'd have to think about guitar riffs, there's so damn many that I like!

As a guitarist, I would have to say Whole Lotta Love- Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page was a riff maestro, so many good ones.
 
Lot's of great songs posted here actually. I'm surprised this section of the forum is as active as it appears to be.
 
Oh yeah... I forgot Du Hast by Rammstein... they're a closer second for "best riff of our generation" in my opinion.
 
....and a lot more great artists that needs to get posted!
 
The list will probably change with time.
Best guitar riff: Jandek - Upon the grandeur
Best guitar solo: RHCP - Turn it again
Best keyboard riff: John Frusciante/Josh Klinghoffer - Surrogate people
Best keyboard solo: Shawn Lane - Variations for piano
