Yeah, but as I showed with Schism, Tool have been experimenting with crazy time for a while now.

And Meshuggah aren't too bad.

nah, we just have different taste. I think they make very interesting and complex music. Fredrick Thorendal is one of the most innovative metal fusion players around

Lets see that ****ty jazz time sig compete with 15/8, take double-digits you jazz loving bitch.

7/4 actually, when Gilmour solos the song goes into 4/4... This was because Gilmour had a hard time composing a solo for a 7 beat form.

Anyway, prog is rarely in 4/4... And the time sig variety is off the map, Crimson have some of the best time signature variety i have ever heard, all of the songs on Larks Tongue's In Aspic makes extensive use of 10/8, Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With is in 11/8 and Cat Food is in 19/8.

Thela Hun Ginjeet has different members playing in different time sigs at the same time (primarly 7/8 and 4/4) to create an off ballance effect and a "fragile" beat.

There is no 13/4, you have to draw a line somewhere. It is most probably 7/4 and 6/4 or whatever and I hope 8/5 was a typo. I think the winner for the amount of time signature changes is Dream Theater's "Octavarium." I can't even be bothered with sitting there and counting how many there are.

Nope, I don't know how you're counting, but it doesn't sound right. It's 7/4 for the most part.
