The Top Ten

1 Poison Was the Cure - Megadeth
2 Spotlight Kid - Rainbow

The song isn't 100% metal but the riff obviously is because it was ripped off by over 10 metal bands, including Dream Theater. - Metal_Treasure

3 The Rivalry - Running Wild
4 Lady of Winter - Crimson Glory
5 Masked Jackal - Coroner
6 Semtex Revolution - Coroner
7 Stand Up and Shout - Dio
8 Into the Storm - Blind Guardian Into the Storm - Blind Guardian

A headbanging and pretty brutal riff for power metal standards (at about 1:00) - Metal_Treasure

9 Slave to the Grind - Skid Row
10 Sails of Charon - Scorpions

The Contenders

11 La Vinteren Vare Evig - Den Saakaldte

A very beautiful melodic black metal riff (at the end of the sample). - Metal_Treasure

12 Hell Bent for Leather - Judas Priest
13 Crying in the Rain - Whitesnake

Not a metal song but the riff and the solo are metal. - Metal_Treasure

14 Gorgar - Helloween
15 Majesty - Blind Guardian

Two riffs, both are fast and cool. - Metal_Treasure

16 March of Mephisto - Kamelot

The riff reminds me a military marching. - zxm

The sample has the riffs. - zxm

17 21 - Annihilator
18 Neon Knights - Black Sabbath
