The thought that anyone would vote in this poll seriously is disturbing to me, as it is one of the most useless topics related to music I can think of.

Oh bless, I remember when I was a newbie here. Tough times, it really was. But you are right, we all had to earn respect around here

No vote from me. There are plenty of non-prog songs that use odd and/or topheavy time signatures, and there are blantantly prog songs that make use of 4/4. It's HOW you use it that counts.

Who needs time sigs?

I say 7/4 is the most progressive. But my favorite oddball time sigs are Keep it Greasy which is in 19/16 and Birds of Fire in what sounds to me like 18/8. Or songs that you never knew went into weird time signatures like Whipping Post 11/4 or Here Comes the Sun, bridge is in 26/8 (11/8 4/4 7/8) haha

I find it funny how some say that odd time signatures don't make a prog song, so that means they can't vote.
 
Of course not! But what would the fun of this poll be? This is about THE MOST progressive time signatures, not which time signatures make a song automatically prog.
 
I think I should make a "Which mode is most progressive" poll...

You are so correct.  And yet, when I try to compose music in my own futile way, I'm always drawn to 5/4.

Why is 7/8 not an option?  I find it is the most "common" uncommon time sig.  And no, 7/4 is not the same as 7/8 at all.
and then there was music...

Most prog is in 4/4 and so is most pop music...
 
Does this mean prog isn't actually prog but is actually pop music...?
 
My brain hurts. Confused

4/4 if you know what you're doing and don't get it right Pinch
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Shh, it's a secret. How are we suppossed to maintain our snobbery with people like you constantly coming here and exposing our dirty secrets‽ Just go back to humming those catchy yes tunes and forget you ever mentioned that 3-letter curse word, eh? Wink

Most progressive meter? Definitely 6/6. So progressive that my friend said it doesn't even exist. Yeah... sure it doesn't exist...
