this came up in a soundgarden thread in other bands and I'm curious.

3/4 and 6/8 time signatures shouldn't count since they're super common in rock music anyway. But if we're talking about songs not in 4/4
Parts of "Blood" "Small Town" "Nothingman" the chorus to "Satan's Bed" "Push Me, Pull Me" The verses in "Grievance" The verses in "Sleight of Hand" The verses in "You Are" I think? "Get Right" parts of "Unemployable"

Parts of "All Night" I think? "U"s intro and outro "Strangest Tribe" "Big Wave" has a unique time signature in the refrain even though most of the song is in 4/4.

yeah I'm stretching weird, but the soundgarden thread implied that anything that wasn't 4/4 was unusual. Some people used the word experimental, but they might have been casting a more narrow net than this.

i think all of these are 4/4
I don't have a copy to hand to double-check all of them, but Jorge is definitely right about Grievance, Get Right and U.
nah U is definitely 4/4, the drums are just a little offbeat but its still 4/4 if the part of get right is the part i think youre tihnking of (that instrumental part) then thats the same, still 4/4 but drumming is just a little offbeat im still pretty sure grievance is 4/4 too
