Funny, I'm just as confused as ever. I'm told it's all about how you count. But fuck that, I don't listen to music to do math.
i was being sarcastic :|
I wasn't! I hate math. Who wants to count while listening to music? That's like reading Henry James while fucking. No thank you!
I count while listening to music all the time but I'm fucking crazy.

7/8 is alternating bars of 4/4 and 3/4. It's very easy to count. You just cut off a beat on the second bar and return back to the one. 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and-1-and-2-and-3-and.....

11/8 is alternating bars of 5/8 and 3/4. So it would be 1-2-3-4-5-1-and-2-and-3-and....

13/8 is alternating bars of 5/8 and 4/4. So it would be 1-2-3-4-5-1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and...

21/8 would make your head explode.

Money by Pink Floyd is a good example of 7/4.
