Drums in Darkness Surrounding- Avenged Sevenfold
Guitars- Pretty much every Avenged or Dragonforce song. If you wanna challenge your friends to an impossible guitar hero quest, look no further. (although Freebird is up there too)

My first thought when reading this thread was the guitar break towards the end of "Courage" by Tragically Hip. It is decidedly understated, but fits the song so well, it's my favorite part of the song. It starts at ~3:10 of the video:

King Crimson! After getting this brain nudge, I have to say the sax/guitar/bass/drum instrumental in "21st Century Schizoid Man" is crazy good. I listen to this and wonder how many takes it took to get it on tape.

It starts at 4:38 and goes to 5:25. Give it a listen if you've never heard it, it's incredible.

The dual guitar harmony section in the middle of 'Orion' by Metallica. Gives me Goosebumps every time I hear it.
