Yeah - I should have mentioned this isn't some vague jazz technique nobody uses, it's literally everywhere XD.
That being said, my absolute favourite is the section from a Genesis song, Apocalypse in 9/8, which takes you on a pretty insane odyssey of a journey through major, minor, and a whole buffet of 'other', with a pedal riff of the 1, 2 and 5 for a solid 4 minutes. Couldn't count how many times I've listened to it in total awe
