David lists his five favorite rain songs.
Some "rainy" songs that I like are these:
Eurythmics, Here Comes The Rain Again
Ashanti, Rain On Me
Leonard Cohen, Famous Blue Raincoat
Bob Dylan, Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35
Creedence Clearwater Revival, Who'll Stop The Rain
I'm amazed no one has mentioned The Beatles' "Rain"--it's one of my favorite Beatles songs. There's also "Happy When it Rains" by the Jesus & Mary Chain. Oh, and I've always liked Elvis's "Kentucky Rain."

Prince: Purple Rain
Somehow I remember that song although Prince was never among my favorites.

Now why do I think of Milli Vanilli?? GAH! Did they have a rain song? Now its in my head, won't someone staple my ears shut?! AAAH!

There are so many good rain songs out there. :) I haven't heard the one from the Eurythmics in a long time.

But of course! Purple Rain ... and Red Rain ... how could I forget?
Milli Vanilli? Hmmm ... I dunno. And I'm glad. :^)
Anne, if it's in your head, and you have someone staple your ears shut, the song will stay IN your head, and NEVER come out again. You might want to rethink that. :-P

I have to object to Bob Dylan, Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35 being a rain song.

Why? It has "rain" in the title. I didn't claim they had to be about rainy weather.
Famous Blue Raincoat isn't about rain either.

Anne, I'll hide this down here. If you don't want them in your head again, don't click on this link.
