In a Gadda Da Vida
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (derived from "In the Garden of Eden") is a song recorded by Iron Butterfly, written by band member Doug Ingle and released on their 1968 album of the same name.
At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The lyrics, a love song from the biblical Adam to his mate Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end. The middle of the song features a two-and-a-half-minute Ron Bushy drum solo.
It was a classic - pretty much the beginning of heavy metal genre.
Ron Bushy's drum solo was the inspiration for Ringo Starr's drum solo on "The End" from the Beatles 1969 album, Abbey Road. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles.
and of course.....
The Who - won't get fooled again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDfAdHBtK_Q&t=382s
I agree with Wipeout by Safaris, Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love
my 5th song /drum solo would be Santana at Woodstock in 1969.
Michael Shrieve was the drummer - really just a kid at age 20 - stepping out on that stage, in those circumstances. A classic drum solo !
The song was " Soul Sacrafice" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_pDjX65vHo
At age 20, Shrieve was the youngest musician to perform at Woodstock
although not a classic " Drum Solo" - Levon helm of the band was awesome on this song.
Ringo did a fabulous job on this version..... Peatle I think posted earlier this past week.
by far my favorite version ever of "The Weight"
