The top number is the NUMBER of notes
The bottom is the TYPE of notes So 5/4 would be 5 quarter notes. |

Dream Theater's Learning to Live has 14/8, 13/8, and 5/8 among others.
Erotomania switches between 11/8 and 10/8 in some parts as well. |

Things get REALLY weird when you get into the /32s
I saw a sheet once that had something like 26/32 or something ridiculous like that. |

It means that in one bar you have five quarter notes. = 5/4 If you were to have sixteen eight notes in a bar it would be 16/8. |

There's a Tool song that's in 7/16, and from what I know that's normally a fusion related time sig, so that's pretty weird to have in a rock song...
