Best Drum Solos

I'm finding that I've been REALLY enjoying drum solos on my system lately. They seem to work the whole speaker, from the kick drum in the woofers, to the tom-tom in the midrange, and the cymbals and high hats in the tweeters. And when it all comes together, they are the instrument I have the easiest time seeing in front of myself.

I searched the forums titles to see if there were any good drum solo discussions going on, but I didn't see any. So here we go. In no particular order, here are some drum solos I've found to be very high quality:

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - The Drum Thunder Suite
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Caravan
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Far More Drums
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick
Max Roach - Max's Variations

What are your favorite drum solos to listen to on your system?

I'll toss in a personal guilty pleasure:

Mick Fleetwood - "World Turning" from Fleetwood Mac Live in Boston

And now for something completely different:

I was driving today and Culture Club's immortal hit "The War Song" (key lyric: War is stupid, People are stupid) popped up on XM.  I had completely forgotten that this song featured a real, honest to goodness drum solo!  Maybe not a solo for the ages, but a solo nonetheless.
