read about some here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_works_in_unusual_time_signatures

tool is probably the big one
but also tori amos, grateful dead, radiohead and soundgarden seem to use them a helluva lot.
pj harvey in "man-sized" uses one of the most thoroughly confusing time signatures i've ever heard.


can you think of others?

i was going to say peter gabriel but yeah he only has one song in the list (solsbury hill)
toby rand had a real hard time trying to get that one right on rockstar
