I was curious, because at the Blues and Roots festival, when Bela Fleck and the Flecktones played, there was a piece in 5/8.

If you have some of these songs, and still don't understand me, maybe you need a second listen?įor those who don't understand, you're probably aware that most songs are either in 4/4, 3/4 or 6/8 (ie for 4/4 you can count 4 beats over and over).ĭo you own any of the music listed in that list?Ĭan you appreciate unusual time signatures? You'll see Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Beatles, Dave Matthews Band, and Rage Against the Machine etc. Here is a list of both mainstream, less mainstream and classical songs that are in unusual time signatures.
