Gotta have this one. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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)

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?

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.

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!!

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...

"Mother" is a song by Pink Floyd.[1] It appeared on The Wall album in 1979.[2] The song is notable for its varied use of time signatures.[3]
