Rainy Days And Mondays, by The Carpenters, from the 1971 album The Carpenters

This Number One smash hit adult contemporary pop rock song isn't the most inspirational of classic pop rock songs about rain, because it talks about depression and the only way to alleviate it is by being with the one you love. Still, Karen Carpenter sings songs like no else can with her angelic voice. She died too early, and those who've seen the movie about her life or have read about her untimely passing in 1983 know she had a lot of real life "rainy days and Mondays".

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, by B.J. Thomas, from the 1969 movie soundtrack to Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid

This is one of those personal top ten classic rock and pop songs about rain that instantly remind me of one of the most famous American movies of all time. I have a love-mocking relationship with this song, because when B.J. Thomas sings in his "don't worry, be happy" way, I've always thought he had this attitude that he could be worry-free if he was well-off financially. Even as a kid, I thought that of him being rich, rightly or wrongly, which made me think he could be so ever optimistic, even when it's raining - like he walks between the raindrops!

Rain, by The Beatles, from the 1970 album Hey Jude

This psychedelic-sounding classic rock song about rain is a favorite personal top ten tune about this particular subject matter. It originally charted as a Top 40 hit four years earlier as the b-side to the chart-topping Paperback Writer single, but had yet to make an album lineup until Hey Jude was released.

The Rain, by Oran "Juice" Jones, from the 1986 album Oran "Juice" Jones
