It's pretty much impossible for me to choose all time since I am a drummer and have studied this shit, but I'll go with what I'm really digging right now.
Some of my favourites (some are whole songs, some are certain sections):
21 st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson- pretty much the finest drumming I've ever heard.
Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead- specifically the fill.
King of Carrot Flowers, parts 2&3 by Neutral Milk Hotel- after around 1:30 to the end.
Debaser by the Pixies.
The End by the Beatles- obviously.
I'm Waiting for the Day by the Beach Boys- specifically the opening.
Also pretty much any Led Zeppelin song.
I'll probably think of some more, but those are a few favourites.

you're absolutely right in my friend, any Zeppelin song goes.
I love the drumming by Matt Cameron of Soundgarden and Barrett Martin from The Screaming Trees. Most of the songs in Dust or Sweet Oblivion have pretty awesome drumming, and of course the songs on Badmotorfinger / Superunknown. _________________ <--suddenly...Bora!

On that note, a few weeks ago me and my buddies went up to Nashville and ventured into the Honky Tonk Central where this band that noone ever heard of was playing. The band had this female drummer that was real good and we had had a few drinks, so we kept on trying to put some pressure on her. After a while she took a break and we had a chat with her, asking her to play Moby Dick. She'd never heard of that song but agreed to give it a shot, so she walked off, found the song on her phone, and listened to it a few times, then came back and just ruled it. Those are times worth telling about.

I've always thought the drum solo in the studio version of Moby Dick is amazingly boring and flaccid. Bonham was a great drummer for sure, and he rocked that solo live, but the studio one is just so basic. The best recorded drum solo I've ever heard in my opinion is the opening to side two of A Love Supreme.
