This time signature is just so odd Tongue

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

You can get soooo into this stuff and it will give you such a mind ache! I counted out Dance of Eternity once like 4-5 times in a row, just to see if I could ever get it right........I felt after like I had just drank a bottle of wine!

Well beyond loopy!!

Money always sounded to me something like "let's play in 7/4, so we can show we are a prog band!" "But Roger, I can only play in 4/4" "It's ok, Dave, i have an idea..."

Not a Floyd hater though xD

Anyway, I love when you find the song extremely enjoyable, then you realize it's even in a compound time signature. Notable examples may include but are not limited to: Living in the Past, Love to Love You (not a lot prog though), and Duel With the Devil.

I love Giraffes?Giraffes! as well.

Pink Floyd's "Money" is what I'd consider a hit and it's in 7/4

though it drops to 4/4 for the solo, which gives it a nice propulsive burst...

You know what's pretty odd around here? A nice 4/4 motown single. That's pretty odd around here. That 197/55 and a third-point-nine-sevenths time signature stuff isn't odd at all here. :P

A guy once asked me what I thought of math rock.

I said: They sure are getting lazy with those elementary school computer teaching programs. What's next? Reading Comprehension Garden Snake? American History with a Sheet of Drywall? Indiana Jones and the Periodic Table of Elements.exe?

Also Melvins uses a ton of odd time sigs.

I've always liked this song, theres 3/2, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 7/4 in there.

and then theres the Captain.

Also haven't seen this one yet (unless I missed it)

I think 7/4 is way overused in prog, prog-metal especially.

As long as Daniel Gidenlow likes it I'll honor it with all my passion.
