SONGS ABOUT RAIN
-
"Who'll Stop the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival - This is one of the best rain songs for those that are ready to put a stop to the raindrops.
-
"Riders on the Storm" by The Doors - Here's one of the best
rock songs that actually features the sound of rain in the background,
and it's the perfect tune to listen to when traveling down a spooky road
on a rainy night.
-
"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival - You can't have one of CCR's rain-related questions without the other.
-
"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac - This is one of the rock songs here
that doesn't mention rain quite as often, but I just love the lines
"thunder only happens when it's raining; players only love you when
they're playing."
-
"When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin
- You won't find songs about flooding that rock as hard as this one
does. It's truly a testament to the power of rain (and rock).
-
"It's Raining Again" by Supertramp - This is one of the best
rock songs if you've been experiencing a little too much rain lately. It
might be about excessive rainfall that just needs to go away, but it
sounds as cheery as a sunny summer day.
-
"No Rain" by Blind Melon - And if you're looking for mellow
rock songs to play along with the pitter-patter of raindrops, this one
is perfect to listen to while watching puddles gather rain.
-
"Rain Must Fall" by Queen - This is one of the best rock songs
if you're the type that sees rainfall as more fun than depressing. It's
funky, and it's Freddie. 'Nuff said.
-
"The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin - One of Led Zeppelin's most
poetic songs is perfect to listen to while watching raindrops slowly
slide down the window (you won't find a more relaxing rain song).
-
"Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage - For those that love gray days, chase the sun away with one of the best rain rock songs by one of our favorite redheads.
-
"Rain King" by Counting Crows - For Counting Crows fans
counting the raindrops and feeling lonely, listening to rain rock songs
like this one might just help shed a little sunshine on your soul.
-
"Standin' in the Rain" by Electric Light Orchestra - ELO brings the electric rain with this psychedelic storm (you won't find rain songs more mesmerizing than this masterpiece).
-
"Rain Dance" by The Guess Who - Want to make it rain? Then
dance along to one of The Guess Who's best songs, a 60's rock tune mixed
with some surreal rain-invoking chanting.
-
"Rain" by The Cult - For a fast and furious storm outside, you
can't beat this hard-hitting beat (this is one of the best songs for
those using the rain as an excuse to enjoy some indoor activities, if
you know what I mean).
-
"Still Raining, Still Dreaming" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience -
And here's one of the best rock songs to play while daydreaming on a
rainy day (Jimi's guitar has got just the groove to chase your blues
away).
-
"November Rain" by Guns N' Roses
- This is one of the best rain rock ballads for those that feel like
their hearts have been struck by lightning (weathering the storm isn't
always easy, but it can definitely be worth the sunny days to come).
-
"Let it Rain" by Eric Clapton - And here's the "Let It Be" of rain rock songs. Just relax; let the sky cry; and enjoy your tunes about H2O.
-
"One More Rainy Day" by Deep Purple - This is another of the
best songs for making a rainy day look brighter. So if you don't think
you can stand one more rainy day, be sure to add peaceful, pleasurable
tunes like this to your rainy day playlist.
-
"Rain on the Roof" by Lovin' Spoonful - Be forewarned: this is
ultra-cute pop rock. However, it might just be the spoonful of sugar you
need when your summer plans get ruined by the rain.
-
"Fool in the Rain" by Led Zeppelin - If you listen to songs like this to celebrate days when the sky is gray, then you just can't be a fool in the rain.
-
"Rain" by the Beatles
- This one brings to mind pictures of acid rain (if you know what I
mean). It's slick, psychedelic, and one of the Beatle's best rock songs
for making the world seem bright and sunny when it's actually drab and
gray.
-
"Run Between the Raindrops" by Pat Benatar - Running between raindrops might not be easy, but listening to Pat Benatar's amazing voice certainly is.
-
"Outside the Rain" by Stevie Nicks - This is one of the best
rain songs for those experiencing heartbreak as they stand outside the
rain looking in on the one they love, a dangerous storm that they just
can't quit chasing.
-
"Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters - Karen Carpenter's
voice is just as soothing as raindrops on the roof, and capable of
making both rainy days and Mondays better.
-
"Naked in the Rain" by Red Hot Chili Peppers - If you celebrate
rainy days in an unconventional way, then enjoy singin' in the rain
sans clothes to this rain song that rocks.
-
"Louisiana Rain" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Well, if you live in Louisiana, then you can't beat this rain song with a country twang.
-

-
"Shadows in the Rain" by The Police - And here's a little reggae rain song for those that might be a little delusional as they dance in the rain.
-
"Crying in the Rain" by Whitesnake - Rain and Aqua Net don't
mix, so if you plan on crying in the rain while rockin' out to this one,
be sure to bring an umbrella.
