What are some good bands and or songs that use odd or multiple times signatures? Please post links and info if possible. Otherwise just share stuff you think is cool and is probably in odd time signatures.
This song appears on the 1981 album Discipline. The time signature in the chorus is 7/4 and the bass/drum rhythms (supplied by Tony Levin and Bill Bruford) can also be considered polyrhythmic to each other. At 4:21 Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp are playing in 7/8 until one guitar plays in 6/8 starting at 4:31. The guitars align after 42 beats. This song is well-known for the very fast riff (32nd notes at 155 BPM) that Fripp plays at the beginning and after each chorus.

Trent Reznor once said he was entertained by watching music-theory-less people bobbing their heads to "March of the Pigs" and getting confused when the down beat switches with the up beat. I like the song and the anecdote.
In general, I pay less attention to formal structure than to ear candy production, lyrics, vocalists, sounds, and the general enjoyment of songs, so I've nothing more to offer here Though I do love a song that sounds like it is almost two different songs after a bridge piece brings about a new theme or tone.

No band limits, aliasing is the noise of freedom!

Pixies have a talent for dropping bars in a way to unsettle a song.

I guess someone needs to mention Rush... 'Limelight' is cool for sounding pretty 'normal' but keeps changing between different sigs (7/4? 6/4?)

And this is just silly:
