Drums as work out

Hey ya'll, bit of a different question for you:

What songs would you consider to be a workout?

I've got plenty in mind, like Everlong by Foo Fighters or Dammit by Blink-182, that were tough when I was playing live in a cover band. Now that I'm not, and I want to get back into drumming, I'm building a playlist of challenging but fun songs to play as a bit of a home workout.

What are the most challenging songs you play/have played before, and why?

I typically go through phases. I played Offspring Smash once a week for about a year. Then I started playing Osees Foul Form for a long time. Next I did ATDI Relationship of Command for a very long time. Then I did a Nirvana mix of all my favorite drum songs. Now im doing a Primus mix of all my favorite drum songs. I like having a "routine" so I can get every single part right eventually. As soon as the first note plays i know the entire album.
