odd time signatures

lets talk about odd time signatures
sometimes i will listen to music exclusively because it has odd time signatures. does not have to be entirely in the odd time signature but as long as it makes at a noticeable presence, it's valid. visual novels do this surprisingly often. the following time signatures need not apply:
>2/4
>3/4
>4/4
>the same derivatives with cut time
>6/8
>12/8
the following time signatures are on probation due to their status of "hey this is weird but still easy to compose songs in"
>7/4
>7/8
>9/8 glorified as 3/4
>8/8
i can provide some examples now
Genesis - Robbery, Assault and Battery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SBkppkWYFc - lots of 7/4 but has measures of 13/8 during the solo and bridge)
Vermilion Sands - Ashes of the Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAuQmrSuvw - lots of 9/8 and then there is one i havent been able to decipher yet. it doesnt last long enough for me to make a definitive answer)
Mario Kart 64 - Race Results - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqqsewbj5Qw (in 11/8))
