Easy. Hands down, my favorite guitar riff of all time is the utterly simple chord structure to AC/DC's "Problem Child". D, A, D, G. Repeat. Drop to an E at the end of the bar, and then do it all over again.

The absolute best part, though, is on the LP, after the song is over, the drummer kicks it off again, and they play an outro of just that riff, fade out. So fantastic.

Sure, there are far more interesting guitar lines out there, but that's just pure snot-fueled middle finger to the establishment power chords. I love it!
