I'll get this one started with Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter"

On Bass It's just about anything from hooky from New Order.

On I always start air guitaring when I hear it, it's the starting riffs on Metallica's "For whom the bells toll"
There are four riffs catchy as hell before the vocals even start.

Heard "Rebel Rebel" the other day in a music store. That's gotta be on the short list.

Another vote for AC/DC - my candidate is "Whole Lotta Rosie".

For me it's definitely a Beatles riff but I can't pick just one.
Day Tripper, I Feel Fine, Revolution, And Your Bird Can Sing, Don't Let Me Down, Ticket To Ride, etc etc

I can't limit myself to one, so I'll mention three.
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
My love for this song, and especially the riff, is such that I now only listen to it during special occasions. It marks the beginning of every holiday. :D
Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy
This one's especially great because you can hum it with DIY lyrics about what you're doing at the moment (a la Samuel L. Jackson's character in "The Long Kiss Goodnight").
Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
Irresistible and timeless.
