Ten Rainy Day Songs
Published May 31, 2003
As a follow up to my "10 Songs to Cruise To" Post I have decided to come up with another list of 10 rainy day songs.
This one should be really popular amongst all my fellow citizens of Vancouver.
The Cure - Plainsong (from Disintegration)
Garbage - I'm Only Happy When It Rains (from Garbage)
REM - I'll Take The Rain (from Reveal)
The Carpenters - Rainy Days and Mondays
Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat (from Best Of)
Esthero - Superheroes (from Breath From Another)
Blue Rodeo - Rain Down On Me
Cowboy Junkies - Souther Rain (from Black Eyed Man)
The Doors - Riders on the Storm
U2 - Love Comes Tumbling
Enjoy... and please comment. It's often rainy out here in Lotus Land

Damn straight, nothing says driving in Vancouver like Cowboy Junkies
I love this list. I've been working on one for about 10 years and reordering it. I don't know why, but I've never considered the Cure, and a lot of their music is perfect. A couple of other groups to consider: Wilco (Anything from Summerteeth), The Postal Service (particularly Umbrella) and a good portion of The Suburbs catalogue are always worthy contenders. And, of course, Rain by the Beatles.
I love it!! I'm using some of these songs in a care package to my friend as a "mix tape"... I couldn't ever find the Cowboy Junkies tune... but I much approve of this list! :)
what about Gusterīs Rainy day?
I'm making my own "Rainy Days" list.
I too had Famous Blue Raincoat, and another one of The Cure's songs - To wish impossible things. A beautiful tune, but I do love Plainsong also. :) I may have to reconsider!
Got to love Paramore- When it Rains, great song. And anything by REM is perfect.
