| Aug 3, 2018 at 23:23 | comment | added | Areel Xocha | A propensity for pattern recognition is one of the things that makes us human, as is an opposing thumb- so handy when that soap gets away, @Richard. With or without time signatures, we'll always go hunting for patterns. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4141622 | |

It's very common in rock music too. The most famous example is Master of Puppets, where the verse ends with a completely non-signatured phrase, somewhere between 5/8 and 6/8, but the missing roughly-32nd note is not by design - and that would be nigh on impossible to count anyway.
