Any music that includes polyrhythms, polymetrics, odd time signatures...? Preferrably non-metal.

Joanna Newsom - The Milk Eyed Mender
Christian Hall
The Beatles.
Here's a few instances of very unusual meter in their songs:
>She Said She Said
>Good Morning Good Morning
>Here Comes The Sun
>Revolution
>Happiness is a Warm Gun
>Strawberry Fields Forever
>Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and my Monkey
Generally what they'll do is a bit clever than just "hey, odd time signatures are super noticeable", and more as a rhetorical gesture.
Another nice example is the music of Joan Tower. Island Prelude is in many time signatures.
Evan Turner
Look into the minimalist movement. Also Don Caballero
James Lewis
Illinois has some cool examples that you don't often hear in indie rock. Also, Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel is notable for being the most "natural-sounding" odd-time song I've ever heard. Could be that I'm musically illiterate, but I couldn't believe it was 7/4 before I counted it out.

Joshua Flores
Angel Nelson
7/11 isn't a real time signature, unless he means doing 7/8 over an 11/8
Owen Richardson
Yes, that is what a polyrhythm is
Grayson Powell
But writing it as 7/11 is incorrect
John Cruz
