OK, I'm a drummer and I'll have fun with this.  Let's create a Top 100 Drum Performances list.  You suggest a song with great drumming and I'll list them.  The criteria will be "These songs display a technical talent of the drummer, and the drummer's ability to display an outstanding drum performance".  OK, suggestions?

1.  21st Century Schizoid Man / Michael Giles (King Crimson / In the Court of the Crimson King)
2.  Scene Six: Home / Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater / Scenes From a Memory)
3.  Stream of Consciousness / Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater / Train of Thought)
4.  Isle of Everywhere / Pierre Moerlen (Gong / You (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 3)
5.  Firth of Fifth / Phil Collins (Genesis / Selling England By the Pound)

One of my favourite performances is Pierre Moerlen's drumming in "Isle of Everywhere", studio or live. But the fine points of the drumming on that track are probably noticeable for a drummer only. The way the drumming slowly and organically builds up here, until Moerlen finally is all over the place, is really amazing. Another good example of his drumming is "Zero the Hero", especially in the "Live au Bataclan" version.

Wow, the beginning of that song rips off Forty Six & Two by Tool.  Great show though.

I would add...Neil Peart - Xanadu; John Mayhew - The Knife; Phil Collins - Tons of songs, but I'll mention Firth of Fifth, Los Endos, Duke's Travels; Bill Bruford - Heart of the Sunrise (the intro section is just killer). 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Yea... I know.... But the drumming is far more complicated than Tool's Forty Six & Two.
