Well, this is my list of songs in odd times signatures. This list doesn't have any references and it's built almost entirety with prog rock songs, and since I don't have any studies in music, if you spot something wrong, or have any contribution, let me know. I consider "odd time" to everything that's not either a 4/4 or a 6/8 time. Although i'm a prog rock fan, this list is not intended to have listed all the meter changes in a 20 minute epic, I prefer this list to have "mainstream songs" that are easier to listen to.

The list is divided in "septuple meters" (like 7/8 and 7/4), "quintuple meters" (like 5/4 and 10/4) and "multiple meters".

1978 - "Circumstances" (Rush - Hemispheres) - bridge: 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 (this song must have more odd times signatures but i'm too lazy count the whole guitar solo)

Sat 12 Jul – Dave Matthews Band

Dave and band put on a fantastic show this second night in West Palm. Bella Fleck's Jeff Coffin sat in for injured LeRoi and Tim Reynolds also joined in. DMB covered Pink Floyd's Money, Barrett Strong's Money (Thats What I Want) and closed with Sly & The Family Stone's Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin). Their own songs were tight, lengthly and jammin. Many have commented that the Friday night show was equally as awesome or better and the favorite evening seems to come down to which DMB songs the commenter likes best. Hopefully, these two shows will be released as a Live Trax Volume CD in the future.

Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd

What do you say about one of the best selling albums of all time? I like Dark Side of the Moon as much as most fans of classic rock I guess. I've always thought Money seemed a little out of place and probably would have fit better on Wish You Were Here along side Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar but that's hindsight and it's not like Pink Floyd were going to hold on to the song until they made the perfect album to fit it or anything.

I like listening to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, but I'm fairly sick of many of the individual tracks (Money, Time, etc.) due to over-play on classic rock radio.

The first track I played was: Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

5,000th track: Deep Purple - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
***
10,000th track: The White Stripes - The Hardest Button to Button
***
15,000th track: The Hellacopters - All I've Got
***
20,000th track: Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla
***
25,000th track: T. Rex - Dandy in the Underworld
***
30,000th track: Status Quo - Name of the Game
***
35,000th track: Whitesnake - Bloody Luxury
***
40,000th track: The Ark - Kolla kolla
***
45,000th track: Pink Floyd - Money
***
50,000th track: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Don't Do Me Like That
***
55,000th track: The Answer - Come Follow Me
***
60,000th track: David Bowie - God Knows I'm Good
***
65,000th track: The Cure - Siamese Twins
***
70,000th track: Steve Hillage - Earthrise
***
75,000th track: Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play

80,000th track: Rory Gallagher - Public Enemy No. 1

Historia z Pink Floyd zaczęła się od "Ciemnej Strony Księżyca" pożyczonej od kolegi jakoś w 2002 roku. Poraziła mnie ta płyta. A gdy sięgnąłem po resztę to już wiedziałem że się nie uwolnię. Waters dla mnie to najlepszy tekściarz! Gilmour najlepszym gitarzystą. Te pompatyczne kompozycje i koncept albumy są niewiarygodne. Kuwa z jaką to fantazją jest nagrane! Kto nie zna niech żałuje. Szkoda że się po 1983 roku nie mogli już dogadać. Zawsze się zastanawiałem kto na tym wyszedł lepiej... Pink Floyd w trójkę nagrali jeszcze 2 studyjne albumy i dwa koncertowe. Waters nagrał kilka solowych i niesamowity album "In The Flesh Live" wydany również na DVD, który jest moim ulubionym koncertem. Namawiam do zapoznania się z twórczością tej grupy.

Pink Floyd - Money

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!

Yeah!

Why does anyone do anything?
I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out
