are there any songs written around the locrian mode?

[iconic]

I cant imagine there are too many as to my ears pretty much everything i've heard has a root 'n fifth lurking somewhere...so is it more a 'theoretical scale than a practical scale?

Thinking about it caro emeralds a night like this is the only song where i've even thought about using this mode to play over/around a chord.... having a diminished chord in the bridge....but i dont get out much!

Lots of songs have diminished chords in them, certainly a lot of jazz standards. There's an old fleetwood mac one that uses (I think) an E dim chord (maybe Eb).

There's a song by Bjork (can't remember which one), that uses the locrian mode in the bass line.

YYZ by Rush uses a b5, so not really locrian, but alluding to it maybe.

Here's the Bjork one... no idea whether it is all Locrian or if that applies only to the bassline.

Most modern metal.

I think you're more likely to find short passages of a song being in Locrian, not a song with a locrian I chord. Usually locrian's played over a m7(b5) chord, but not always - and there are other scales that sound nice over that chord, too.
