In the 60's/early 70's it was common for bands to have a song featuring a drum solo. Without repeating any previously mentioned songs these feature some of my favorite drummers:
The Guess Who - Garry Peterson
Jethro Tull - Clive Bunker
It's a Beautiful Day - Val Fuentes
Spirit - Ed Cassidy
Vanilla Fudge - Carmine Appice
James Gang - Jim Fox
Three Dog Night - Floyd Sneed
Pink Floyd - Nick Mason
Chilliwack - Ross Turney
The Surfaris - Ron Wilson

Going back a long way, my favorite has to be Gene Krupa's solo in "Sing, Sing, Sing"
Simple and short but sweet.

John Bonham, Moby Dick, from The Song Remains The Same. Pretty much memorized the whole thing as a kid.
Joe Morello, trading fours with Dave Brubeck on Take the A-Train, first song in this concert, pure cool:
+1 on Joe Morello! One of a mighty few consistently interesting drum soloists because it was never about how much he could play; it was about how well he could play. A Joe Morello solo never interrupted the song, it continued it. There's a lesson to be drilled into the minds of musicians.
I won't hold my breath.
