Songs with your favorite drum grooves

This is my alltime favorite...

 

With the late Jeff Porcaro. Hard to beat.

 

“Cradle Rock”, Rod D’Ath, “Irish Tour ‘74” - Rory Gallagher

 

...the original 12" extended version is off the hook SQ

 

Amy Winehouse - Brother

 

Awesome track

 

Coincidentally, I'm listening to Heaven 17's 'Penthouse and Pavement' (the song) right now and that one's got one beast of a drum groove!

 

Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots
The Police - Driven To Tears
The Who - Who Are You

 

Fortune Teller by The Hollies springs to mind

 

After all these years, I've still never heard a drum groove more infectious than Charlie Watts' in (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Yes, I fully realize that it's the simplest ever, but the sound and energy can't be beat (no pun intended).

 

One of the highlights of the companion / outtake discs
