It's Raining Jonmc A 2-hour (if my internet provider lets me) set of RAIN songs from the last 50+ years, some you've never heard, some you'll wish you never heard again. Dedicated to everybody back east caught in the rain today...
Here's what you WOULD have heard in the first half hour:
Glenn Yarborough - Baby The Rain Must Fall (2:18)
Milli Vanilli - Blame It On The Rain (4:18)
Melanie - Candles In The Rain (5:21)
Everly Brothers - Crying In The Rain (1:59)
Serendipity Singers - Don't Let The Rain Come Down (2:36)
Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain (6:12)
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain (2:40)
Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again (5:04)

I clicked in during Melanie and ran for my life.

You can't say I didn't warn you: "some you've never heard, some you'll wish you never heard again."

If you clicked in right now, you'd be getting an earful of Barry Manilow's hyper-saccharine "Made It Thought the Rain". No, I don't know where the Manilow mp3s came from, must've been a virus.

Sure, sure.

Listening with a bottle of the cheapest red wine I could find at the supermarket today. Ahh...

Bob Dylan - Rainy Day Women #12 & 35


So, in high school, the title of this song was pretty much agreed upon my all of my peers to mean marijuana cigarettes. Does anyone else have that memory?

What? You left out Elvis Presley and "Kentucky Rain"?
posted by King of Prontopia 04 June | 15:14
That, and Tony Joe White/Brooke Benton/Otis Rush, "Rainy Night in Georgia?"
posted by Hugh Janus 04 June | 15:17
and this may not exhaust the subject, but it certainly has it breathing heavily:
Cascades - Rhythm Of The Rain (2:30)
Ronnie Milsap - Smokey Mountain Rain (3:44)
Belinda Carlisle - Summer Rain (4:11)
Madness - The Sun And The Rain (3:30)
Berri - Sunshine After the Rain (3:27)
That's all from Wendell Wadio, broadcasting Live but not Well from beautiful Cyst Valley, California, where it is currently 71 degrees and sunny. To steal the sign-off from one of my all-time favorite DJs you never heard of: Don't do anything I wouldn't do twice!

Considering the Top 40 cruft in my directories, I am shocked and humiliated that I have neither "Kentucky Rain" nor "Rainy Night in Georgia", both of which I love more than 75% of what I played.
*hangs head in shame*

Chin up, wendell. You're still the champ.

*hoped somebody would take a hint and senduit the two songs*

Okay, since no one officially set a date, I'm doing it now: || Science. It's what's for breakfast.
