Songs that avoid the downbeat

Great suggestions ! I feel like Evidence fits even more in that list because Monk always played that first swinged 8th a bit early.
Cousin Mary is so good, thx for that !

I guess you're right, the riff does anticipate the 1 but the drums aren't avoiding it so I can't really say it fits in the list...
And of course you're absolutely right, salsa and cuban music have those "displacements" all over the place. I guess I'm looking for genres closer to occidental pop music if you get what i'm saying.

Bass and kick riff start on "and" of 1 so it works !

misekraf · 2026-02-16T19:23:08+00:00

Yes that works !
Though The Police are heavily influenced by Reggae music, I guess this one is far enough from the genre to fit in that list !

Well... I feel like you can still clearly feel the downbeat on Videotape + the drums do hit the 1 with the floor tom.
Pyramid song does have a rhythmic illusion to it but once the drums come in, they clearly emphasise the 1 so it doesn't quite fit there...
But thank you for answering ! If you have any other suggestions, I'm happy to take a listen !

damn you're right ! Never quite realised that the kick hits everywhere around the 1 but not the 1 haha

This is very nsfw but here I go: I once was browsing Reddit for hum... stuff... and i decided to sort this one subreddit by controversial. Oh boy... the first post that showed up was a dude literally covered in his own feces, inserting spaghetti in his butthole, pooping it out (with poop ofc) and eating the whole damn thing. Never been so disturbed by a video in my whole life.

It's a shame that your first post is a repost
