Lots of good ones here. Right on on Zeppelin, Hendrix, and the Beatles.
Pretty much all of Maiden's opening riffs are classic: Powerslave, Phantom of the Opera, Back in the Villiage, Revelations, Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast, Flash of the Blade, they're all golden.
Buck Dharma's lead ins to BÖC's tunes are fantastic: The Reaper was Mentioned, but Godzilla, ETI, pretty much everything on Secret Treaties, Dancin' in the Ruins, Secret Water. I get all shivery just thinking about them.
However, there are a couple that I bet no one else would mention if I didn't, but which are truly astounding:
Frank Zappa - Po'Jama People. In which Zappa Proves that, if he hasn't got the soul of an old time blues god, he is pleanty good enough to fake it.
Walter Becker in Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive. Showing that Jazz Guitar can still rock the house.
Robert Fripp in King Crimson - Great Deciever. He may be a prissy, perfectionist old fart now, but man alive could that boy rip it up in his youth (and he's still pretty hot in his dotage.)
