What are the easiest riffs to learn?

Wolfmother's Colossal and Joker & the Thief are pretty easy to pick up if you don't mind Drop D tuning. I learned the entirety of Colossal in about 20 minutes. Joker & the Thief took about an hour because of the solo, which is really tricky to nail (I keep adding measures that don't exist).

Seven Nations Army, Smoke on the Water, Iron Man, James Bond Theme. Anything one string even complete beginners could learn in 30minutes

When I first started, I learned a bunch of Blink 182 songs. All great songs to practice with, especially when you're first getting the hang of playing.

Smoke on the Water- Deep Purple

Practically anything by Black Sabbath or ACDC (like Iron Man, Paranoid, NIB, Back in Black, Hells Bells, etc)

The Who and The Beatles also have a lot of cool riffs and fills you can look into. (I can't explain, the seeker, come together, etc)

Oh, and ZZ top has fun riffs too ;)

Tune to Drop D and learn some Helmet. Wilma's Rainbow and Unsung are particularly easy.
