5/4 and 7/8 examples

while talking odd rhythms...the beginning of "Changes" by Yes alternates between 7/8 and 5/8, forming a 12/8 thing...the guitar (Steve Howe, I think) then plays a 6/8 thing underneath until everything comes together and then the song breaks into an even 4 beat rhythm...COOL TUNE!

Actually that's Trevor Rabin playing a 4/4 line underneath it. Very cool indeed.

Sue me, but "Santorini" and "Within Attraction" by Yanni are both 7/8.

"Fell On Black Days" by Soundgarden is 6/4. Or maybe 4/4 and 2/4 alternating. Same difference.
