"My Love Explodes" - Dukes of Stratosphear
“Brainstorm” - Hawkwind
“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” - Jimi Hendrix”
“Have a Cigar” - Pink Floyd
“Simple Sister” - Procol Harum
“Cinnamon Girl” - Neil Young (probably my favorite from the list)

Ticket to Ride
Jean Genie
Psychotic Reaction
Layla
Voodoo Child
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon Girl

I almost picked Eight Miles High nad Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo, but for my standards, they either didn't qualify as a "riff" or classic enough.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
