Here are a few that I like more than others, not because of their longevity, or their complexity, that has nothing to do with a good drum beat, or a drum solo, its just that they sounded awesome!
--Rain by The Beatles/Ringo Starr mentioned that he also thought of his performance as his best. I love the sound of the pattern, and I just really liked how it goes! Not to mention the song is one of the best that the Beatles recorded.
--Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles/Yet another Beatles song, and my favorite tune as well. The drums...Magical, and amazing, I don't know how else to explain them, they just sound so powerful and melodic! The drums make the song much much better, I can't say that I would consider the song the best without the drums.
--Radio Friendly Unit Shifter by Nirvana/One of my favorite tunes, and one of their best. The drums are simple, yet great. I enjoy their good powerful sound, fits Cobain's voice perfectly.
--People of the Sun by Rage Against the Machine/very good beat, makes the song stand out in their album "Evil Empire". Once again a very simple pattern made great somehow.
--Look What You've Done by Jet/I consider the drums on this song as masterful! The song itself is excellent, but the drums are the best part. The beat is amazing, a bit more complicated than the ones I've talked about before, and they sound completely godly!As the song progresses the drums get louder and pick up in coolness as well.
--In Bloom by Nirvana/I think most people know how the drums sound in this song. I like the simplicity of the main drum beat!
--Helter Skelter by The Beatles/I also consider this drum beat masterful, and one of the drum beats that I like a lot.
--Hairspray Queen by Nirvana/The song is weird, and I like it! The drum beat is amazing, and adds to the wackiness of Cobain;s voice, Krist's bass line, and the wicked guitar riff (if it can be called a riff). But the drums sound really good.
--Electric Relaxation by A Tribe Called Quest/a song I hear every day, not a guitar, bass, and drums song, its a very good song anyway. The drum pattern is simple and effective.
--Daybreak's Bell by L'Arc~En~Ciel/if you're a fan of J-rock or J-pop you know who they are, and you know they're an amazing band. Their talent can't be heard from any U.S band. Daybreak's Bell's drums are perfect, some of the best sounding drums I've heard. The song itself is spectacular, so if you don't know about Daybreak's Bell then go google it, or youtube it.
--Come Together by The Beatles/you can probably tell that The Beatles are my favorite band, and I apologize for all those that feel that this list is stupid. But Come Together rocks, the drums are good, they're excellent! The best part is the intro,
"shoot..." then the sweeping drums, and McCartney's bass line!
--Come as you Are by Nirvana/ Nirvana is also one of my favorite bands, and this song is their best! Dave's drumming style is amazing, and in this song it is noticeable.
--Bull in the Heather by Sonic Youth/ Sonic Youth you can't describe them, and Bull in the Heather is one of their best. The drum pattern is simple, but rocking!
--Blue Train by Asian Kung-Fu Generation/ another J-rock band that is far better than any current U.S band. The drums are masterful, really good, just plain kick ass, you have to hear the song!
--Alumina by Nightmare/ once again a Japanese band,and again this band cannot be compared to any U.S band, period! The drums in Alumina are good, simplistic and it doesn't matter, they sound amazing.
And to finish the list, I present to you, the best for last. A song that is like listening to a piece of heaven. A song that is a classic, and will remain a classic until humans cease to exist. A song that needs to introduction, and no "why" the drums in it are good, just listen to it, and hear the art.
By The Beatles "A Day in the Life" off their 1967 LP "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band".
