Rain

I recently was introduced to the song "Like the Rain," by Clint Black. I really like it. I did a little research and found out that there are, in fact, according to muze.com, over 5,000 albums containing at least one song with the word 'rain' in their title, just since 1960.

In my opinion the top 3 are:

1 - Rainy Days And Mondays, by The Carpenters

2 - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, by B.J. Thomas

3 - Rain, by The Beatles

Why do you suppose that is? Why are there so many songs about rain? Well I stick with the guys @ http://www.lacarte.org. They make the claim that it's probably because rain is the easiest word to rhyme with 'PAIN.'

Pain - it seems to show up on a lot of songs... In fact that's one reason why I love country songs so much. Not so much the pain aspect as much as the ability country music has to put into words the feelings that are hard to describe. In honor of my love for country music (don't judge me) I present to you the top 100 country songs.
