Garbage - Garbage - I'm only happy when it rains :)

[lnr]

Good point well made. *adds a few extra tracks*

[sparrowsion]

See, I'd've picked Here Comes the Flood from Shaking the Tree....

[lnr]

Good selection.

The Weather Girls // It's raining men ?

[lnr]

We don't seem to have that, or indeed any track with the word "raining" in it.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

That rules out "It's Raining Again" then, Supertramp.

What about Rain In The Summertime, The Alarm?

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Looking at iTunes, I also have Rhythm Of The Rain, The Cascades, and Flowers In The Rain, The Move. However, it's actually not rained here since this morning so I will aim for a more sunny playlist. ;-)

[lnr]

*grin* I did a search for anything with "rain" "thunder" "lightning" "cloud" "clouds" "flood" "storm" "raining" "rains" in it. I think I've added all the results of that lot.

Yours would be pretty good additions if I had them.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Yup, I figured that's what you'd done. I get a surprisingly short list if I do that, though, I was surprised I didn't have more that you don't have IYSWIM.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that said, I do have Kate Bush's Cloudbusting. Which didn't turn up on the search. That's weird.

[lnr]

Ah, technically I have that, but it's on vinyl.

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

The Sisterhood - Rain From Heaven
Sisters of Mercy - Flood I, Flood II

[lnr]

Not got them. Bit of a gap in the Sisters there :-)

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Or indeed the whole Floodland album.

You'd need a lot more rain before anyone thinks of 'Swimming Horses', and a Siouxsie fan to remind you.

[fluffymormegil.livejournal.com]

The Cure, Disintegration - "Prayers For Rain"
Inkubus Sukkubus, Wyld - "Storm"

[lnr]

Nope, don't have those either.

[acronym.livejournal.com]

Radiohead, "Paranoid Android" (rain down / rain down on me)
Tori Amos, or for that matter Slayer, "Raining Blood"
The Beatles, "Rain"
The Orb, "Little Fluffy Clouds"

[lnr]

Go on, I'll add the last one (saw it, but didn't know it so didn't put it on at first). Would you believe I don't have the Radiohead track though? Terrible. And I don't think we have any Tori Amos, and the only Beatles is Abbey Road.

[acronym.livejournal.com]

"Here Comes the Sun", then, if you're feeling optimistic!

[lnr]

*points* - beat you to it.

[acronym.livejournal.com]

(and now I see you already had it. Oops!)

[sparrowsion]

Available to you at http://jugjug.badgers.vpn.ucam.org/radiohead/ok-computer/02-paranoid-android.mp3 and http://jugjug.badgers.vpn.ucam.org/Tori%30Amos/Strange%20Little%20Girls/Raining%20Blood.mp3 . (I really must sort out a name-normalisation script.) But you might not want to play them directly from there.

[lnr]

Thanks. I don't really believe in copying other people's tracks really though.

[mpinna.livejournal.com]

Madness, "The Sun and the Rain"

[(Anonymous)]

Opening theme from 'Round the Twist'

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that you don't have The Cult down there somewhere...

[lnr]

Only seem to have one Cult track in our collection:

Artist: Various

Album: Dark Side of the 80s (Disc 1)

Title: The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

[besskeloid.livejournal.com]

Whaddyer think she is, some kind of stinkin' goff?

[lnr]

*points to shocking lack of goff music*

I'm only a part-time goth.

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

I have some of the Cult, including the relevant tracks. Therefore they're clearly not a goth band.

fx: ducks and runs...

[lnr]

Oops, I appear to have gone shopping:
