^Hate when they do that, but I'd probably like the instrumentals

Popularized mixed meter in jazz, sure, but I'm a current guitar doing mixed meter/odd phrasing:

I'm trying to stay away from most rock/metal that does that. Especially overly technical instrumental rock, cause I'm looking for melodic on the side of catchy.

Idk if brubeck did much of what I'm into beyond like blue rondo, where it's phrased in 3 groups of 3 until its your 50's swing. IIRC Brubeck/Desmond mostly wrote heads in mixed meter but still groups of 4

I'm looking for situations where vocals (and maybe melodies) have those uneven phrases like the first verse of this:
