it's been raining here for a couple of weeks, and now the flooding is pretty bad as well.

 

So, to help deal with the lack-of-summer-doldrums I started thinking about songs about rain, or at least with the word rain in the title.

 

Bob Dylan- A hard rain's a-gonna fall

Jayhawks- Settled down like rain

Beatles- Rain

CCR- Have you ever seen the rain

Prince- Purple rain

Eurythmics- Here Comes the rain again

Violent femmes- I hear the rain

Greatful Dead- Box of Rain

 

there have to be hundreds of these out there...anyone?
