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" :heartbeat:
"Big Wave" has a unique time signature in the refrain even though most of the song is in 4/4.

I'm going by memory, so I may be wrong on some of these.

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 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
