Gordian Knot, Dream Theater any of the prog rock scene will be throwing mad time signatures at you, and plenty of changes too.

In my own playing I am doing something with a band where we move from 4/4 to me playing a riff 'within' 3/4 time, though my strumming is off for half of it, and the drummer playing a 7/8 (I think) time signature on the drums. It is very jazzy as the drums play into the 3/4 part I am playing once in a while, but not neccessarily on the bar. Then back into a 4/4 piece.

It is an off shift that definitely makes the listener pay attention.
