ok maybe you've done this. proabbly you have. i don't care.

obvious ones from top of head:

THE SMITHS - well i wonder
nelly mckay - suitcase song (? did i get that right, i think so)

i'm thinking more gentle rain, drizzle/shower not so much downpour baht, if you want to go all reign in blood or whatever on me thats ok too.

Oddly...."Rain" by the Cult doesn't sound anything like rain.

'After The Rain' by the Comsat Angels kinda does, though I dunno if I'd say so if it wasn't about rain.

Yes, "Close To The Edge". 'Cause the intro & outro both sound like a rainforest, obviously; but so does that little percolating Rick Wakeman synth-bit. (Or sequencer, whatever.)

Herbie Hancock's "Rain Dance" was obviously meant to sound like rain, and it does. Ditto for The Prodigy's "Weather Experience".

I remember listening to Bailter Space's "No. 2" on a train ten years ago when I was traveling on a gloomy, rainy night between Seattle and Vancouver and thinking it was the most rain-like song I'd ever heard. (That whole album is rain-ish.)

Nah, don't agree, sorry - a lot of Bryter Layter is very balmy.

I Would like to contribute "Loran's Dance" by Mudie's Allstars for some soaking wet rocksteady reggae instrumentalism. Very beautiful tune to walk around to in a downpour.

songs with rain/ storm sounds

Help me make this mix of songs with rain sounds in their intros or outros

I became briefly obsessed with this after reading these two threads last summer - songs with rain sounds rather than that sound like rain.
