I'll Take The Rain by R.E.M.
I Can't Stand the Rain by Ann Peebles

CCR - "Have you ever seen the rain" makes a cool trifecta

K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:

Purple Rain" by Prince "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Rain" by The Beatles "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" by Bob Dylan "Here Comes the Rain Again" by Eurythmics "I Can't Stand the Rain" by Ann Peebles "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton "Rain King" by Counting Crows

Only one missing is the REM song.

Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You), Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains, Clint Black - Never Liked The Rain, Gene Kelly - Singin' In The Rain, B.J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head.

Nice. It even works as a three way conversation:

"Have you ever seen the rain?"

"I can't stand the rain"

"I'll take the rain"

Ok. This is a perfect start to a playlist. I've never heard the Ann Peebles song.

wow. very literal. I was thinking there should be a ton based on songs about love and angry songs.
