Favorite Time Signature

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Well, since prog uses a lot of unusual time signatures, and there are a lot of musically-literate people here, I thought I'd take a poll to see what everyone's favorite time signature is, at least off of this list.

Obviously, I can't include every single one, but if there's one or two that's popular but not on the list, I'll add it.

For me, it's 13/8.

Edit: MikeEnRegalia, good point below.  Elektrik by King Crimson is partially in 13/8.  10/8 would be a close second, due to Tarkus and Larks' Tongues Part 2.
