Hey guys, can anyone recommend me some songs so I can work on odd time signatures? Something simple at first.

Start out with 3/4 waltzes -- they should be simple enough.

That song is great to start with. Any more? :)

"All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles (only at the "love love love" sections).
"Seven Days" by Sting, and many other songs from the "Ten Summoners' Tales" album.

'Don't Leave Me' by Blink 182 has odd time signatures in it.

If you don't believe me, try counting 4/4 throughout it - it won't work(!) And it is a simple song.

Blink 182 can't have done this by accident, because when they play the song live it still has odd time signatures.

Has anyone else noticed this!?
