 Topic: 11/4 in Hey Ya?

This is correct. In the end of the sixties and during the seventies it was rather common to do this. Nowadays I get the feeling it is getting obsolete, it is not done as often as it used to be done (just like progrock sometimes seems to be ). But maybe there will be a revival, who knows (another Woodstock???). I think Outkast sets a step in the right direction. I wasn't very fond of "Miss Jackson" (only for the emotional irony maybe) but I liked the song "Hey ya" the first time that I heard it.

I guess this means OutKast needs to be in the Archives.
They are so prog!
|
If so...then Kate Bush, Simon & Garfunkel & the Beatles are prog too. Just listen respectively to Egypt, America and Hapiness is a warm gun and I can even mention more examples (which I will not do because that will be a very very long story...)
|
well , a lot of people say that the beatles are prog. except for their radio hits I had only listen to a few song of them. I like "strawberry fields" a lot. Can someone recommend me songs of the beatles that are closer to prog? (sorry for my bad english, I forget all my classes)
|
Try "Revolver." It is excellent. 
|
thx!

There is always excellent music in "Musikpassagen", and on WDR 3 as a whole, but only 1% of it is prog at the most (probably 0.05% would be more accurate). The music on all other radio channels is crap though, so if we are not listening to a record from our collection we listen to WDR3. It is an excellent radio station, just with very little prog.
But all other channels are simply unbearable.

Yes but no one mentioned prog radio stations.
|
Awww, unfortunately not. I'm afraid the only Prog radio stations I've heard is on the internet.

Well, it's not in 11/4; it's just another OutKast song, lol.

Actually, I believe it's in 4/4, with a 2/4 measure thrown in during the end of each verse, so, essentially, it's 14/4, but that's just like saying a normal song's verse is 16/4, which is pointless because it's just 4 measures of 4/4.
EDIT - I'm listening to the song right not on Rhapsody, and the Verses are - 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, 2/4, 4/4, and 4/4. Whoever said it's in 11 is right, except it'd be 11/2, which is ludicrous. The bass/snare beat clearly defines the downbeats.
A friend of mine has a piano transcription of this song, and I'm almost sure, IIRC, that it's three measures of 4/4 with a 2/4 at the end. Nothing too exciting, as it's just there to help the lyrics flow.

Sorry, I only listen to WDR 3, a German radio channel, which usually
broadcasts classical, jazz and ethnic, but definitely no hip-hop. |
Your point is???  and maybe you should listen to other stations?
