7/4 isn't the exactly the most common time signature in rock but it certainly didn't stop the opening track on side two of The Dark Side Of The Moon from attaining classic status. We can't help thinking that David Gilmour was onto something when he insisted that the band shift to 4/4 for his guitar solo.
