Best Drum Track Of All Time

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Whitesnake - Still Of The Night
Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good
James Gang - Walk Away
 
I have to say the most inspirational songs for me as a creative drummer would be Lataralus by Tool. That song fills me with shivers every time. I could name 2/3rds of Tool's songs in my list of favorites.

Wish I could perform a ritual utilizing the unicursal hexagram to summon a daemon to help me drum even half as creatively as Danny. But alas, I don't do any drugs...
 
To all those who have registered opinions on this thread. Thanks for the laughs. This thread is hilarious!

Sandy Nelson-Let There Be Drums
Dave Clark-Do You Love Me
Ringo Starr-Long Tall Sally
The Strangeloves-I Want Candy; Cara-Lin

Yes, showing my age....laugh it up wy yung!!
 
The question is truly a timeless one: the responses show the variations in: influences, tastes and how truly versatile playing drums is. Although appreciated, best drummer is not best drum track.
A quick list out of hundreds of possibilities( in no particular order):
- Let's Dance & Modern Love
-Red Rain: Stewart on HH and Manu on drums
- Some Like It Hot- Tony Thompson
- Melting In the Sun- Inxs
-Home At Last- Bernard Purdie: the Purdie Shuffle --gave birth to Fool In The Rain (Bonham) and , Toto (“Rosanna”) and Death Cab for Cutie (“Grapevine Fires”).
 
I dont believe there is a "best"...
