Good 70's 80's bands/songs to learn with epic guitar riffs?

Some great songs already mentioned in here. I think a really epic song is "Estranged" by GNR (from Use Your Illusion 2)
That song has so many triumphant sounding riffs, chord changes and licks. Check it out.

Pretty much any Queensryche from the DeGarmo era (especially Mindcrime and Empire)

Not from the 70's/80's but Coheed and Cambria have a ton of epic guitar soaked songs.
 
Manowar solos. Simple in theory, unique every time. Right now trying to learn the songs, solos, AND sing Eric Adams vox at the same time. Its a tough workout.
 
Van Halen dude! My band just started covering somebody get me a doctor and I'm having a blast playing it. All of VH1 and 2 is full of nothing but killer riffs and leads.
