best Drum Song?

edited June 2010 in The Porch
I was just thinking of making a Pearl Jam list... considering that the concerts are so near, and the excitement and suspense are unbearable. And this one seemed like one I had never seen on this board (or at least in a while). What are your top FIVE drum songs?, if you can list them in order, go ahead. Here are mine:

1. In My Tree
2. RVM
3. Given to Fly
4. Immortality
5. Present Tense
"The ocean's made me, but who came up with love?"

D.C. '00
West Palm Beach '03
Tampa '03
Philadelphia '03
Albany '03
Mexico City 1,2,3 '03
Pittsburgh '06
Cincinnati '06
NYC 2 '10
Costa Rica '11
Mexico City '15
Dana Point '21
Chicago 2 '24

    Hold On ( Dave Krusen/Lost Dogs version ) This song in particular always makes me wonder how much more of an influence Dave would have been to the band if things had been different and he was able to hold on...
    No disrespect to Matt , but I love Dave K.'s work.

    if you add WMA and RVM, i think you might have a point. VS, could have the best drums of any pj album... at least the best "rock" drums.

    Not only does VS have great rock drumming but listen to indifference, how Dave just keeps in the background. The drums on a song like that could easily have gotten in the way of the mood. I believe good drumming also happens when there is little of it. Its about having a good understanding of the music.

    I also love the drums on rats!

    That drum pattern in Grievance, brilliant. Gets stuck in my head.
    God's Dice as well, as another poster mentioned. Cameron is doing some wild shit on that song.
    For the older stuff, Last Exit, RVM, Go, all great.

    Cropduster, No?

    Matt plays killer drums. He plays so "offish" like a fraction beat off, I love it. I don't know how he can concentrate on some songs as he sounds as if he's playing drums for another song. GOOD for us, it sounds great! But I don't know how he can do it.

    It sounds awesome with Soundgarden songs, and recent PJ songs. I tremendously dislike it for the music that was previous to his joining. But you did put it accurately - When listening to a song, it sounds like he's playing drums for another song. Thusly, Evenflow and a number of other early songs are now a bathroom breaks for me.... :?

    Unemployable is the most standout track for me
    WMA
    In My Tree

    And then you have some odd time signatures:
    Grievance
    The Fixer
    In The Moonlight
