Here it is, the best 16 songs about the rain. I expect you to heartily disagree with my selections.

Oran "Juice" Jones' "The Rain" is the best. Such a great song.

A popular request at the piano bar anytime the Axis of Evel Knievel is in the house.

I prefer Zepellin's "The Rain Song" to "Fool in the Rain". 2nd track on Houses of the Holy.

Actually, when "My mom says I'm cool" is at the piano bar, "Fool in the Rain" is one of their requests.

The mere fact that Milli Vanilli's "Blame it on the Rain" is not on this list is an insult to our collective tastes.

What a slap in the face.

awesome that you are using the seeqpod. see you tomorrow at the next meeting of the Philadelphia Mixtape Exchange.

It's Raining Men? Seriously, did BMT give you that suggestion?

I had to include either that or "Blame It On the Rain" as my super cheesy rain song, and while Raining Men is bearable to listen to, Blame it on the Rain is not.

New Edition's "Can You Stand the Rain?" is awesome. "Raining men" and "Blame it on the Rain" are horrible.

No Purple Rain is a huge miss.

Also, "Rain on the Scarecrow" by John Cougar Mellencamp is a great song.

Also CCR's "Who'll stop the rain" and "have you ever seen the rain".

The Who's "Love reign o'er me" is a good one too.

I've got to be honest. I'm kind of over Purple Rain. I mean, I know it's a really good song, but over the course of my life I have heard it so many times that it has just become white noise. Steve, might wanna check song #4.

"Rain on the Scarecrow" is by far Mellonhead's best song.

Because my "inappropriate material detector" at work doesn't let me see the list, is the awesome "Chocolate Rain" on the list?

Saddle in the Rain - John Prine

Your inappropriate material detector must have kicked in when I added "It's Raining Men" to the mix. Agreed on "Rain on the Scarecrow". Should have made the list.

You should have asked "Have you ever seen "Have you ever seen the rain" at #4 on the list"?

I was worried you would have some irrational dislike of anything Mellencamp-related. Great song.

No Rain by Blind Melon

"Save It For a Rainy Day" by the Jayhawks is my favorite rain song

American Gladiators' fan #3 said:

Oran "Juice Jones says:
"What about Tom Waits' 'Make it Rain,' 'Singin' in the Rain,' The Eurythmics' 'Here comes the rain again,' or After 7's 'Nights Like This (I wish that raindrops would fall)' from The Five Heartbeats. A list without those songs is like Cornflake without the milk."

Anybody see my $3700 lynx coat?

Make It Rain by Fat Joe featuring R. Kelly, T.I., Lil' Wayne, Baby, Rick Ross & Ace Mac

Trivia Art said:

The Cult - Rain. It kind of sounds like every other Cult song. But hey, it's about Rain.

Stormy Weather - recorded by a thousand but I think I'll take Billie Holiday.

Sally O said:

That is a great rainy day list (Fool in the Rain is such a great song) but... what about "Why Does it Always Rain on Me" by Travis or "No Rain" by Blind Melon. And, who can forget "Chocolate Rain" by that crazy internet guy?!

Susana said:

How about Supertramp's "It's Raining Again", and for something a little mellower, The Carpenter's "Rainy Days and Mondays"?

Darth Ern said:

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"

Spoiler Alert - They get killed at the end.
