What are some songs with awesome drum solos? By solos, I don't mean the little drum intros to stuff like "Living After Midnight", I mean like "Painkiller" drum solos.

Jethro Tull-Thick as a Brick
Iron Butterfly-In a Gadda Da Vida
Edgar Winter-Frankenstein
Led Zeppelin-Rock and Roll

I don't recall him having anything that would qualify as a "solo" and I don't feel like looking.

Tony Williams' drum solo on Saturday & Sunday from Jackie McLean's One Step Beyond album (Blue Note 1963)

That's one of my all-time favorites.

Also, Keith Moon - mid section of Won't Get Fooled Again (which was copied by Dire Straits for the intro to Money For Nothing)

And the intro to Honor Thy Father by Dream Theater is a pretty cool drum solo-thingamabob.

For pure nostalaga purposes, not the greatest drum solo ever, but I LOVE it -

100,000 Years on Alive!

Extra special credit goes to Eddie Kramer for adding TONS of reverb and Flange to that solo so it wouldn't be as obvious how incredibly sloppy it was.

I still like it though. I got my first copy of Alive in 1976. $\'arry \'eadbanger$

Even though its at the beginning of the song Hot For Teacher - Van Halen is pretty kick ass for drums. IDK if anyone has already said it or not, just thought id throw it out there

The beginning of Sacred Warrior's Rebellion is awesome! I have listened to that beat a million times and it's still sweet.
