Fair warning...mine are all sort of depressing but (in my opinion) rain-appropriate music. Sit back with a good book, some tea or coffee, the window cracked a bit so you can hear the rain and smell the oncoming spring, and listen to these...

Nick Drake - Pink Moon (or any album for that matter)
Kings of Convenience - any album
Erik Satie - Trois Gnossiene & Trois Gymnopedie (these are song titles)
William Fitzsimmons - any album
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash for a Digital Urn or I'm Wide Awake it's Morning
Pedro the Lion - any album
Maria Taylor - Lynn Teeter Flower
Air - Talkie Walkie
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Zero 7 - Simple Things or When it Falls

Ahhh - Nick Drake's Pink Moon is my ultimate Sunday-Morning-before-the-kids-get-up disk. It's my coffee and newspaper in the big comfy chair in my kitchen soundtrack.

I'm a little bit more literal when it comes to my "Rainy Day" playlist...

We open with the slow din of bass and raindrops in The Doors "Riders on the Storm"...

We close with the perennial "Love Reign O'er Me" by The Who.

In between we have anything from Leonard Cohens "Famous Blue Raincoat", "Southern Rain" by the Cowboy Junkies and Blue Rodeos "Rain Down on Me"...

Awesome post by the way...it's a great way to hear other peoples musical tastes and get some new ideas of bands to download...

Hey Harpy, have you ever heard "Save it For a Rainy Day" by the Jayhawks? I think it would be a nice addition to that mix. And maybe "Raining in Baltimore" or "Rain King" by Counting Crows.

Have the Crows...Great call on the Jayhawks....Download in progress...
