Half of the times signatures in there couldn't even exist.  There is no way you can have a 66/66 time signature because there aren't 66th notes in music.  Maybe 64th notes, but not 66ths.  I thought it would be appropriate though.

there's that 11/4 part of 'under a glass moon' 
 
if you want odd signatures look at Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' or anything by Liszt
 
 
"1973) "Money" by Pink Floyd, although the solo is in 4/4, as David Gilmour believed that it would be too difficult in simple septuple meter. The triplet/shuffle feel makes this time debatable; it is technically in 21/8. Source: ISBN 8882917533 "Pink Floyd Guitar Tab Anthology" and[3] "
 
did anyone read this?  what the hell?

    I read somewhere that National Health's Tenemous roads is 25/16 at one point, but I've tried to count it and never found it.

    The first song off of the Area album "Arbeit Macht Frei" has its first synth riff in 27/16... and the bridge of "Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus" by The Mars Volta is also in 27/16.

    It's a very common time signature, apparently.
    Go and listen to my music.
