good point! but the even more BRILLIANT stuff is 'sometimes' it's done 
in odd time sigs. I read recently that some track on Chichli Suite is 
in 12/8 or 3/4 depending on how you prefer to count. So maybe it's a 
'leeedle' progress, who knows. I think there's a Pentatonik track on 
Anthology with some odd signature, and I'm sure Black Dog fiddles 
aroud with them, as do other artists....

I don't think that those of us who attack 4on the floor do so b/c of 
4/4 time signature. Almost all of modern popular music since the 
begining "the rock era" has been based on 4/4 time. What I have a 
problem with is boom boom boom boom. (or boom chix boom chix boom chix 
boom chix- can't leave out that 909 hi hat;)
