No the greatest riffs ever but they're fun to play

I have a bit of a problem with the riff concept - not really sure when it's riffing as opposed to playing a repetitive pattern or chord sequence. It's a bit old fashioned like saying someone is being lead or rhythm guitarist - don't understand that either.
Riffs that would never, ever be listed in a list guitar magazine's list of riffs:
Low - Witches
Slint - Washer (stretches common understanding of riffing but what the hell...)
Codeine - Realize (ditto)
Swervedriver - Son of Mustang Ford (there's enough 'riffs' in this song for an entire album...)
Seam - Sweet Pea (ditto)
Buffalo Tom - Velvet Roof (most definitely a riff)
Mogwai - Ceiling Granny (again most definitely rifftastic, but unlikely to be recognised as riff)
Mogwai - Mogwai Fear Satan (does a three note melody played for about 18 minutes qualify as a riff? Don't know...)
Dutch Alps - Mildspan or Fake Killer (ok you won't know these because there tunes of mine from one of the old bands, it's a cracker - that band showed a lot of decent riffing potential in it's short life span....)
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - How Near, How Far (not sure if it's riff qualified, but a band with loads of notable guitar phrases in their back catalogue - that's a bit rubbish isn't it)
The Meters - Cissy Strut
Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer
Kyuss - Thumb
Saint Vitus - I Bleed Black
Black Flag - Rise Above
Edgar Broughton Band - Love In The Rain
Vio-Lence - Calling In The Coroner
Does good times by Chic count as a riff?
