The big beat (not single beats up to 9) is divided into 3 (triple), and there are 3 beats per measure (compound).  So it is:
1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3

9/8 is a compound triple meter.

I know, it can also be a duple meter.  I was asking which one he was referring too.

I think there are a lot of songs I like which are in 6/8. But i don't keep the time signatures in mind when I'm listening prog.

Uh...where is 13/8?  I mean, 7/8 is wonderful (lots of Genesis, Marillion, IQ) and 9/8 is neat (KC, TMV, Genesis' "Apocalypse" et al).  But 13/8 is just plain wicked...LOL.

I very quickly fall into 7/8 in my own rhythms. Kinda odd, I know. But because of that, it's what I voted for.

I love 7/8! It grooves like 6/8 does, but it has that unexpected final beat in there! So exciting.

I also really love 5/4, and plain old 6/8.

Does anyone else feel a huge sense of satisfaction when you listen to and count out a crazy meter like 19/16?

Any time signature when used musically and that helps to maintain a listeners interest is good IMO

well I see a lot of people like the 7\8 signature, I think its cus a lot of proggers identified with the sinature.

I love all the sinatures...

5/4 because of the jazzyness (like in Take Five by Dave Brubeck Quartet)
Or a polyrhytm with 4/4 and 7/8, like King Crimson often did!

Or a more complex one:

5/4 with triplets, which i think makes it 15/8 or 15/16

Voted 9/8 because it's incredibly versatile- but I could have easily gone for 4/4. You can't beat the classics.   
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?
