I'm trying to think of some to shove in my band members' ears so that maybe they can understand this song i am trying to put together:

So far I've got;

Tool - The Grudge
Tool - Vicarious
Soundgarden - keep it off My Wave

I'm fairly certain Hedningarna has tracks in 5/4.

The Dragonfly by Clutch is quite awesome and simple 5/4

Conquistador by The Cult is a good, simple example. Easy to count to.

I was going to suggest "Mars, the Bringer of War" (the first movement of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" suite), and there it is on the wikipedia entry!
I didn't know "Neptune, the Mystic" was in 5/4, also...but that's because I'm most-familiar with
Emerson, Lake & Powell's interpretation of Mars from their self-titled (and only) album.
I'd recommend it because the piece is so rhythmically-driven, and the accents are impossible to miss...

Also the opener on the new Radiohead album.

everytime I work on this one, my head explodes. It's as if I can feel the groove while listening, but when I try to write it, I get jammed up.

"Lunar Sea" by Camel is the first one that comes to mind..
The 'Supertramp' reference on the wikipedia page was put there by me a few years ago!

Bill Bruford uses it all over the place - 'Beelzebub' has 5/8 often, but interspersed with 4/8s and often with bar lines falling in different places for different instruments!

Living in the Past by Jethro Tull is an old favourite of mine.

Examples of songs which use 5/4 (5/8) time signatures.
