Whipping post is mostly 11/8 . A Primus song “Eleven” is too -well it's mainly 11/8 but changes up some too actually. There seemed a spell where rock bands were experimenting with these odd time signature songs - King Crimson and Rush come to mind.

Oh Wow there's a lot of odd time signatures songs. This is crazy-I'll be lost for awhile sorting through this LOL. And look even a special section for me-Irrational time. ROFL.

So awesome

"Take Five" is one of the all-time odd-time jazz classics, in 5/4. It's one of my favorites. I cut my teeth on it learning to groove 5/4 time.
