U2: Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (1992)

U2 was never satisfied with "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." Bono and Adam Clayton both reflected that the song was difficult to record and play in concert. Their producer Steve Lillywhite claimed the song was a bit like a cover band trying to do U2. My brother at the time said this is what U2 should be doing.

Soundgarden: My Wave (1994)

"My Wave" switches time signatures throughout, but is mainly in 5/4, which is an odd time signature. It also included a bass wah pedal. It's an outright rocker that peaked at #11 on the rock charts. Matt Cameron's drums on this track were compared to Ringo Starr's work on Abbey Road.
