In music, the most encountered time signature is 4/4, boring old Common Time. There's also 2/4 and 2/2 ("cut time"), which aren't much different - all the bars still divide evenly into two, which makes these useful meters for marches; two beats per measure equals one measure per pair of steps. 3/4, sometimes called "three-quarter time" and the canonical meter for waltzes, is also fairly intuitive - if you've ever been taught to waltz by counting "step, two, three, step, two, three" then you know how it works. Regular time signatures are divided into the categories of 'simple' and 'compound' time. Simple has each beat divide into two, compound has each beat divide into three. 4/4 is referred to as 'simple quadruple time' (4/2 would also be this), 2/4 is 'simple duple' (along with 2/2, 2/1, 2/8, you get the idea); 6/8 is 'compound duple' (equivalent to 2/4 in simple), 9/8 'compound triple' (equivalent to 3/4) and 12/8 compound quadruple (equivalent to 4/4). Note that 9/8, depending on how it is divided, can be either an example of this trope or compound time.note within a note9/8 is by far most commonly seen in its compound triple form, where three beats of dotted crotchets divide into three quavers each.
Music in Uncommon Time, however, does away with regular meters, and instead opts for totally unconventional rhythms that are often based on higher prime numbers, or at least that are not divisible by two or three. This can be done by choosing an oddball time signature such as 5/4 or 7/8 (most common of the irregular meters) and/or by switching time signatures rapidly. It can be done throughout the length of an entire song, or used as an effect in an otherwise common-time song.
Still confused? Let's relate it to Poetry Forms. Poetry typically has "meter," described as the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in the verse's "feet" — for instance, the "iambic" in Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter is a "foot" of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllables: "I want to be the one who licks those frogs. I've learned I hate the taste of cats and dogs." Uncommon Meter is when the number of syllables-per-feet changes over the course of the line: "Will you be my running mate? It would help me concentrate." In poetic terms, this would be two trochees followed by a dactyl. In musical terms, this would be 7/4 or 7/8, depending on how precisely the composer decided to engrave the work. (This is why 9/8 only sometimes counts: it can be three dactyls ("I do not understand music stuff") or three trochees and a dactyl ("It is going to drive me up the wall, then I'll lose my balance and then fall").)
For those who have difficulty determining the meter of a song, try paying attention to its percussion track: In many songs the bass and snare drums are perfectly timed with each beat, because this establishes a metronome that the other singers/players rely on to keep their parts of the song in sync to. This, of course, does not help when the song uses polyrhythms (that is, having different instruments playing in conflicting rhythms that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another, or as simple manifestations of the same meter), as bands such as Meshuggah are known for.
This trope is heavily associated with the Math Rock, Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, and Technical Death Metal genres, to the point where there are only a handful of prominent acts in any of these genres who have never used it. It is also common in modern Classical Music, which is often credited as being due to the influence of Igor Stravinsky, particularly in The Rite of Spring. (Stravinsky was a rather large influence on many of these prog groups as well). By virtue of being strongly influenced by both progressive rock and classical music, it's also noticeably common in video game soundtracks.

Metallica used a lot of this too. For example, the verses of "...And Justice for All" are in 7/4, while the verses of "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" are in 10/4 divided into five measures of 2/4. "Blackened" frequently shifts between 7/4, 5/4 and 6/4 while also throwing in the occasional 5/8 and 7/8 towards the end. The "mystery bar" in the main riff of "Master of Puppets" is noted as 5/8 in the official transcription, but someone measured it and found out it's actually in 21/32… most likely accidentally.

Michael Giacchino's main theme from Pixar's The Incredibles (the one you hear when the credits begins; fittingly enough it's called "The Incredits") is a pretty direct homage to Mission: Impossible, and appropriately is mostly in 5/4, but also jumps to 3/4 and 4/4 in some parts.

While the original Metroid soundtracks occasionally contained examples of this trope (see below under video game soundtracks), Stemage's metal arrangements of them, solo and with his band Metroid Metal, take this trope up a notch, with nearly every song containing complicated time signature changes wherever Stemage thinks they will make the song flow more naturally. As a result, any given song is liable to have a section in 4/4 that changes to 7/8 for a couple of measures before going back to 4/4. This is a characteristic of nearly every song he has arranged for the project to the point where it could be considered a Signature Style and probably appears once a song or more.

Moonsorrow, another progressive folk metal band (this one from Finland), also like this trope a lot. "Tuleen ajettu maa", for example, is in 5/4 for most of its first several minutes, while "Karhunkynsi" extensively uses 10/4. This is nowhere close to being a complete list.

The frequency of this trope in this musical genre is parodied by Clickhole with Christ Cometh to My House and Eats All of My Food, which has nothing resembling rhyme or rhythm at all, yet still somehow manages to sound good, in the same way anti-humour is funny or Dadaist art is beautiful.

Hüsker Dü's "Masochism World" jumps all over the place (its verses use (4+5+4+4)/4, or 17/4, for example). Some of their other songs use it, too, though not as extensively; a few examples can be found on their page here.

English 70s stoner band Caravan have a song called "Hoedown" which does sound a lot like a hoedown, with upbeat key signatures, excited guitars, a country and western-sounding guitar solo, and... 7/8 time.

The song "You" has three bars of 6/8 followed by one bar of 5/8, a phrase which repeats throughout the song. Ironically, this song is on their least experimental album which is highly unpopular amongst fans, Pablo Honey.

Much of "Bike" is in 4/4 time, but due to extra syllables thrown irregularly into its lyrics, the song is peppered with an unpredictable pattern of 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4 bars.

Rush makes use of several unusual time signatures. Moving Pictures alone has examples of 7/4, 5/4, and 3/4 time.
Really, Rush is the poster band for this trope - it's all too easy to buy the folk myth that Neil Peart CAN'T play in 4/4.
Part of Neil Peart's drum solo for many years was a section called "The Waltz", where he would play a 3/4 pattern with his feet and throw as many time signatures as he could over it with his hands. Including 4/4.
"YYZ" has an intro in 10/8 time, but this could just be incidental, as the Morse code for YYZ (dah-dit-dah-dah, dah-dit-dah-dah, dah-dah-dit-dit) happens to fit into said time signature.
"Subdivisions" seems to alternate between 7/8, 4/4, and 6/4 time signatures. Some time signatures only last a few bars before switching.
"Losing It" has verses in 5/8, the chorus in 4/4, and alternating bars of 5/8 and 6/8 in the bridge.

Metalocalypse: Dethklok occasionally uses odd time signatures. "I Tamper With the Evidence at the Murder Site of Odin" is primarily in 7/8, with the bridge in 4/4; "Dethsupport" constantly switches between 6/8 and 7/8; and "Go Forth and Die" features parts in 5/8. Dethalbum III continues this trend, where "I Ejaculate Fire" has a mid-section that switches between 7/4 and 8/4, and "Starved" is pretty much all over the place, including an intro with intermittent bars of 9/8 and a breakdown in 9/4 - and an outro that switches between these two riffs, with an additional beat thrown in each time it repeats.

In his collaborations with the Melvins, Jello Biafra has "Enchanted Thoughtfist" with verses in 7/4 and "Dawn of the Locusts" with significant portions of the song in 13/8. When industrial hip-hop group Dälek remixed the latter track, they put a 4/4 drumbeat under the whole song just to make it even more disorienting. Meanwhile, from his Nomeansno collaboration, "Sharks in the Gene Pool" goes through several time signature changes, with one of its riffs in 7/4, and several of his tracks with Lard (a collaboration with Ministry, who have also been known to use this trope) also provide examples (for example, "Sylvestre Matruschka" has verses in 5/4).

A couple of character songs from Higurashi: When They Cry have sections written in Uncommon Time, namely, Takano Miyo's "Bon ~Karma~" and Fuurude Rika's "Mugen Kairou". "Mugen Kairou" is in 5/4 except for its bridge and chorus, which is in 3/4; while the verse of "Bon ~Karma~" alternates between 3/4 and 4/4 measures -significant in that Miyo's name is written with the kanji for 3 and 4.

Avenged Sevenfold usually sticks to good ol' 4/4, with the occasional 6/8 (in "Acid Rain", the beginning or "Buried Alive" or most of "Save Me"), but they do have a couple of punctual examples, usually to create a slight sense of unease or unbalance. Being a more prog-oriented album, The Stage plays with this in several songs.
The intro of "Almost Easy" and the verses of the aforementioned "Save Me" are in 6/4 (2+2+2); the actual time signature is given away by the kick pattern.
The bridge of "A Little Piece of Heaven" just before the final chorus is in 5/4 to make it sound creepier.
On The Stage, "Angels" (which is partly about the loss of faith in God) has verses in 7/4.
Similarly, "Simulation", where the narrator is starting to realize he lives in a literal simulation, has verses in 15/8, making the tempo slightly off, like something's amiss.
"Exist" has a part between the 3rd and 5th minute where each portion is composed of three 4/4 bars followed by a 5/4 bar, culminating in a polyrhythmic part where the guitars keep the aforementioned pattern while the drums stay in 5/4, which gives it a chaotic feel. The quiet middle-section guitar solo has no time signature.

"Within You Without You" (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) perhaps takes the cake; it's based on Indian ragas with cycles of 10 and 16 beats. There's a more upbeat epic (sitar) rocking section that works out to be about in 5/4, but not always.

Todd Rundgren used this a lot in his prog days. Two examples: his cover of "Cool Jerk" is in 7/8 (as a pun on its title), and the intro of "Don't You Ever Learn?" (which returns in the middle of the song) drops several beats at various points. The early Utopia albums also feature a lot of this; "Freak Parade" is a good example.

"Kashmir" from Physical Graffiti has in the main section the drums playing in straight 4/4, while the strings, guitar and bass all play in 3/4. There's also a bar of 9/8 before the bridge.

Matilda has a couple.
In "Revolting Children," the bridge and the "Never again!" section at the beginning are three measures of 7/8 followed by one 4/4.
"The Hammer" starts in 5/4 before switching to 3/4; the chorus is in common time.

Many Kansas songs. "The Spider", for example, begins in 11/16 and goes just about everywhere from there. Another example is "Miracles out of Nowhere", which follows a seemingly random pattern consisting of 4/4, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, and 13/8 in the intro; there's also an instrumental break halfway through the song that is in 7/8 before a reprise of the intro. "Point of Know Return", one of their most famous songs, changes time signatures liberally; verses have 4+4+4+3/4 while choruses have 7+7+4+4/4, though there are some measures of straight 4/4 before the choruses.

In Death Note, the first section of L's theme alternates time signatures for each measure in patterns of 4: the first measure is 7/8, the second is 3/4, the third is 7/8, and the fourth is 4/4. This rather unique pattern is repeated in Near's theme, further cementing the connection between the two.

Mayhem's "Slaughter of Dreams" is mostly in 7/4, which isn't all that surprising since it's from their days as a progressive black metal band, but what is susprising is that "Deathcrush" and "Chainsaw Gutsfuck", both from the incredibly primitive Deathcrush EP, both have segments in 5/4.

Slayer does this occasionally. "Metal Storm/Face the Slayer" starts in 4/4, transitions to 9/8, and then goes back to 4/4. "At Dawn They Sleep" starts in 5/4, then transitions to 4/4. Their usage of this trope has dropped off over time.

Pat Metheny embraces every time signature known to man. Not only does much of his work modulate through varying common times, but through multiple uncommons. For example, one of his earlier compositions in Pat Metheny Group, "The First Circle", cycles around a 22/8 riff with 12/8, 6/8 and 4/4 utilized. Two consecutive songs on Letter from Home are titled "45/8" after its uncommon time (which, for an exercise in how far they could stretch the concept, is pretty catchy); and '5-5-7", after the 5/4 - 5/4 - 7/4 pattern of the main riff (the song also uses 6/4, 6/8 and 3/4.)

In Béla Bartók's music, this frequently occurs under the heading "Bulgarian Rhythm":
The Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm from Mikrokosmos are respectively in (4+2+3)/8, (2+2+3)/8, (2+3)/8, (3+2+3)/8, (2+2+2+3)/8 and (3+3+2)/8.
The Scherzo alla bulgarese from the Fifth String Quartet is in (4+2+3)/8; its trio varies between (3+2+2+3)/8, (2+3+2+3)/8 and (2+3+3+2)/8, but is really too fast for the average listener to bother counting metrical divisions.
The Intermezzo interrotto from the Concerto for Orchestra has a main theme alternating between 2/4 and 5/8. It rather sneakily shifts into Common Time after a modulation, but this turns out to be the setup for a musical joke.

Krallice, being a Progressive Black Metal band, use this a lot; it kind of comes with the territory. One example is "Over Spirit", which contains a riff in 5/4. Similarly, "Wretched Wisdom" contains a riff in 9/4. Other songs get more complicated, which has earned them comparisons to Math Rock in some circles. A variant of this trope that also sometimes shows up is the usage of patterns of unusual numbers of Common Time measures (e.g., patterns of five, seven, or nine measures). And at other times they'll subvert it; for example, "Intraum" contains one segment with alternating bars of 9/8 and 7/8... which add up to 16/8.

Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Vital Transformation" from The Inner Mounting Flame is mostly in 9/8, as is the title track from Birds of Fire. Then "Celestial Terrestrial Commuters", on the latter album, is in 19/16, while "The Dance of Maya" from the former album opens with a segment in (3+4+3)/4 or 10/4 before switching to a segment in (3+3+3+3+3+3+2)/8 or 20/8, before it overlays the two in a particularly confusing segment. This is far from an exhaustive list, even on these two albums; the first Mahavishnu Orchestra (which also recorded The Lost Trident Sessions) was pretty much one of those bands that preferred to use compound meters to anything resembling Common Time. There are at most a handful of tracks in their recorded output that don't use compound meters. (One of the band members reportedly commented that none of them knew for sure what time signature any of their songs were in, because they were too busy keeping track of the rhythms of their own parts to pay attention to such trivialities as what time signatures anyone else's were in.)

Ralph Vaughan Williams in his youth wrote Heroic Elegy and Triumphal Epilogue in 7/8 time. Not so bad, except that it also starts with a syncopated triplet and another syncopated quaver immediately following, and keeps this up as an ostinato for over ten minutes. Unsurprisingly, it never became a favorite of any conductor.

Blondie, believe it or not, has an example here, and in one of their best known songs to boot. One part of the instrumental section of "Heart of Glass" skips a beat in three out of eight measures, meaning that there is a popular disco song with a few measures of Uncommon Time in it. (The exact pattern, if you're wondering, is 4+3+4+3+4+3+4+4/4, meaning that there's a 29-beat pattern instead of the standard 32. This no doubt tripped up quite a few people on the dance floor without them knowing exactly why).

Common in Zeuhl, which probably isn't surprising as the music is deliberately intended to feel alien. It is not uncommon for songs to change meter and tempo every four measures or more frequently. Magma naturally use it a lot, as the genre's progenitors, but perhaps the most ridiculous examples are found in Japanese band Koenji Hyakkei's discography, in which apparently some segments of songs are intended to be counted with beats of varying lengths. One example of this is in the song "Ozone Fall" (which is coincidentally one of the band's few songs to have a comprehensible title, though the lyrics are in the band's usual Conlang). "Fettim Paillu" is apparently another. Sister band Ruins does this a lot too, to the point where it often seems like they have more segments in 7/4 than in any other meter.

BIGMAMA's "Royalize" is in 11/8. For most of the song, it switches between 6+5/8 and 5+6/8 every measure; it ends up sounding like it's switching between 6/8 and 5/8 every two measures, but the pattern is consistent. The outro is still in 11/8, but is consistently 6+5/8.

Sting loves this trope.
In the ending of "Walking on the Moon" by The Police, the guitar and bass maintain their 4/4 riff while the drums go into a triplet-based time signature. It fits smoothly from a listening standpoint, but would be hell to play.
"Straight To My Heart" on his second solo album ...Nothing Like the Sun is in 7/4
Fourth album Ten Summoner's Tales has plenty:
"Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven)" has the verses in 7/4 (as a nod to the Magnificent Seven), but the chorus in 4/4, to make it a country song
"St. Augustine in Hell" is in 7/8, with a spoken interlude in 3/4
Despite all of this, "Seven Days" is, of course, in 5/4.
"I Hung My Head" from the album Mercury Falling is in 9/8 time that sounds like alternating 4/4 and 5/4.
Brand New Day is similarly full of this stuff:
"Big Lie Small World" is in 9/8 time with the occasional extra bar just for fun. The middle eight starts off in 4/4 but reverts back to 9/8 quickly.
"Fill Her Up" starts in 4/4 time and then shifts into 7/4 halfway through.
"Like a Beautiful Smile", from the UK-only version of Sacred Love, is mostly in 7/4 apart from every fourth bar in the verse and the chorus, which revert to 4/4.

The Battlestar Galactica (2003) score by Bear McCreary uses some unusual time signatures for leitmotifs. The most prominent is Six's theme, which is in 9/8 time (although it's worth noting that Richard Gibbs actually wrote this leitmotif). An example of a McCreary piece that uses Uncommon Time is "Black Market", which is (if memory serves) in 7/4.

Genesis:
The Peter Gabriel era has "Firth of Fifth," which goes all over the place. It starts in 2/4, then every couple of measures or so switches between that, 16/16, 13/16, and 15/16. When the lyrics start it goes into the standard 4/4 time. Then there's a flute solo that briefly slides into 5/4. Then another instrumental switching between the original 4 time signatures again before settling back on 4/4. The song then ends on a 13/16 piano solo into the fade-out.
The Phil Collins era has "Turn It On Again", which is written in 13/8. The song was originally conceived as part of a side-length suite that was broken up to avoid comparisons to "Supper's Ready".

Some of Philip Glass' score to Koyaanisqatsi uses this trope. For example, there are segments of "Pruitt Igoe" in 7/4 and other strange metres. Its sequel, Powaqqatsi, takes it further. Anthem Part 1 is in 5/4 time; Anthem Part 3 goes back in forth between 5/4 and 13/8 (3+3+3+2+2). And it's glorious.

Kendrick Lamar's song "For Free?" off of To Pimp a Butterfly is a spoken-word rap over jazz instrumentation- though the transcription notates it as common time with nintuplets over the entire song, so basically 9/8, it might make more sense to notate it without a time signature.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Musical Episode "Once More With Feeling" is mostly sane... except for the deliberately off-kilter "Something To Sing About". The cast noted that nobody told Joss that you're not supposed to go from 4/4 to 7/8 (and 5/8, and a bit of 2/4, and 6/8 at the end) mid-song - or, for that matter, mid-line...

Venetian Snares is the all-time king of this, having used it so much he damn near inverts it. How crazy does he get? "Nineteen 1319" alternates 13/4 and 19/4 time.
"Mercy Funk" has probably more time signature changes than any other Venetian Snares' song. Running at a high speed 180 bpm, it starts with 8 bars of 11/4 then switches to alternating bars of 5/4 and 13/8 (or 23/8 together) until 2'32". It then holds 5/4 until 3'50", where a single 7/4 bar is followed by 7 bars of the 23/8 plus one 19/8 bar. At 4'23" there follows a sequence of 16 bars of 13/8, 8 bars of 7/4, a cycle of 3 bars of 7/4 and a bar of 15/8 (or 57/8 together), repeated twice, then 7/4 until the end.
For him, Common Time is the least common signature—he prefers 7/4.
He appears to have a follower in Scottish musician Acrnym.

"The Rite of Spring" is a good example of him playing havoc with time signatures: "The Naming and Honoring of the Chosen One" changes, in consecutive measures, from 9/8 to 5/8 to 7/8 to 3/8 to 4/8 to 7/4 to 3/4. The theme of the concluding "Sacrificial Dance" uses an irregular mixture of 2/16, 3/16, 4/16 (or 2/8) and 5/16.

The Uruk-Hai theme from Howard Shore's The Lord of the Rings score, heard most prominently in the track "Amon Hen" on The Fellowship of the Ring OST, has 5/4 time. Shore explained that he was aiming to give Saruman's army a mechanical-sounding accompaniment. At one point in The Two Towerswhen? As the Three Hunters chase the Uruks (after the scene where Éomer is banished). It's not on the OST, but you can hear it in The Banishment of Éomer in the Complete Recordings, and a previous version in The Eaves of Fangorn in the Rarities Archive. this theme is combined with others giving us a 5/4 version of the Fellowship theme.

The theme to the Mission: Impossible TV series is in 5/4, with composer Lalo Schofrin saying only someone with odd-numbered legs could dance to it properlynote 4/4 is often used for dance music as two partners have four legs to move to the beat. 5/4 would require a fifth to somehow be added to the mix. It was changed to 4/4 for the movies.
Lindsey Stirling and The Piano Guys recorded a version of the Mission Impossible theme, which also incorporated Mozart's Piano Sonata in C, rearranged in a 5/4 time.

In the opera The Turn of the Screw, Variation V and the ensuing Latin lesson scene are scored in a brisk 5/4.

In West Side Story, the "Scherzo" section of the Dream Ballet uses a mixture of time signatures.
"America" is entirely in 6/8, but it uses a musical technique called "hemiola" that alters the emphasis of the measure, making it sound like it's switching into 3/4 and back out again (or, to continue our poetic analogy, from two dactyls to three trochees).

The song "Notes" from The Phantom of the Opera is partly in 15/16. The obligatory 7/8 section comes from the Don Juan Opera Within An Opera.

Even by metal standards, the avant-garde black metal band Jute Gyte takes this to an extreme, frequently using polyrhthms of multiple simultaneous tempi. The liner notes to 2017's Oviri explain the shenanigans on that album (note that Jute Gyte also employs a 24-note scale, rather than the 12-note scale found in nearly all Western music):
