Radiohead have certainly written many songs in unusual and odd meters, so let's today work through their discography and take a look at every non-4/4 Radiohead track!
My video on Pyramid Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdZSOoOF5Ms
My video on Sail To The Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7yDKE_ZvI0
????????A FEW SONGS I MISSED...
- "Sulk" (from The Bends) is in 6/8 time.
- "Subterranean Homesick Alien" (from OK Computer) is in 6/8 time.
- "Where I End and You Begin" (from Hail To The Thief) has a one-off bar of 2/4 amongst the otherwise 4/4 meter.
- "Life In A Glass House" (from Amnesiac) is a weird one... it can be notated in a fast , unchanging 4/4. However, perhaps the more accurate way of notating it would be at half-time, and that would involve occasional bars of 2/4 amongst the 4/4. Also, there is a moment after the first chorus where the tempo sort of swells/jitters which can be notated as a one off bar of 7/8 time + a bar of 3/16, however you could also notate this as a brief tempo change or fermata.
Also, "Hunting Bears" is in free time, but I wouldn't really count "free time" as a meter; the song is still effectively in 4/4 but just with no fixed tempo.
The outro music to this video is my track "See You Again" which you can hear in full on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJoOZd8JQJDgGU8sb8V?si=dcs5zn4JRDO7oVCEkfK6YQ ????
