This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
Basic time signatures: 4 4, also known as common time (); 2 2, also known as cut time or cut-common time (); etc. In popular music, half-time is a type of meter and tempo that alters the rhythmic feel by essentially doubling the tempo resolution or metric division/level in comparison to common-time. Thus, two measures of 4 4 approximate a ...
4 is pronounced as "three-four" or "three-quarter time". Compound time signatures In a compound meter, there is an additional rhythmic grouping within each measure. This example shows 6 8 time, indicating 6 beats per measure, with an eighth note representing one beat. The rhythm within each measure is divided into two groups of three eighth ...

Soundgarden's use of odd time signatures was varied as well; "Fell On Black Days" is in 6/4, "Limo Wreck" is played in 15/8, "My Wave" alternates between 5/4 and 4/4, and "The Day I Tried to Live" alternates between 7/8 and 4/4 sections.
Sometimes a piece is written with multiple time signatures simultaneously. For example, it might specify 4/4 2/4 3/4 5/4, meaning that the length of measures is irregular and can be 4, 2, 3 or 5 quarter-notes. The time signature of the first measure is always specified first, and the others are placed in increasing order of length. Usually, the ...
If I am correct, it acts like 4/8 + 6/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8.) // 4:54 - 5:04 -- 19/8 (Just when you thought they couldn't sneak in another time signature. Acts definitely like 10/8 + 9/8.) // 5:04 - 5:08 -- 12/8 (Merely one measure, but it's worth noting that the last beat is ever so slightly shortened.) // 5:08 - 5:55 -- 3/4 ...
