missed the edit window… here is the Apocalypse in 9/8 part
“Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Turning to the blues, we have Peaches by RL Burnside, which has really weird timing. It sounds to me like it starts with one measure of 7 beats, then another of 11 , then the lyric at 4/4 for four measures, followed by short measure of 2, then the intro theme again for 7 + 9 beats, then 4/4 lyrics again, etc. The funny thing is that it sounds not at all complex and flows in it’s own weird way.
No need for Ringo bashing in this thread - there’s plenty threads you can find where that is the main topic and make your case…it’s a tired topic and many/most of the musicians on the Dope have weighed in pretty strongly…
not up for bashing him for the hell of it. i made a joke in context to this thread. why would i want to find a different one? :dubious:
…in case it wasn’t a joke and you actually wanted to argue that Ringo was a lousy drummer…no biggie, just a tired issue/old trope…
Playing it back in my head and trying to find the change in time signature… all I can remember is in straight 4/4.
I just listened to it, and it all sounds 4/4 to me, even the “gibberish” section, the accordian-plus-flute part, etc. If it varies from 4 beats, perhaps I could see labeling parts as alternating cut time vs regular time, but it all added up to 4 in the end for me.
For those good at picking out time signatures: does INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart” have different instruments playing in different time signatures? The song really sounds like a waltz to me, but when I “listen hard” and try to hear the 1-2-3/1-2-3/1-2-3, it always sounds like a 4/4 song. Maybe the synth is in 3/4?
Sounds like a fairly straightforward 12/8 to me. Four beats to the bar, each beat subdivided into three. (Or it could be 6/8 with two beats to the bar, each subdivided into three.)
Fair enough. 
While we’re on the topic of 70s instrumentals, however – “Frankenstein” by Edgar Winter goes from 4/4 to 6/8 and back again.
Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out”
“Band on the Run”
