The rain we are getting in the upper portion of Colorado is really nothing to laugh at or make light of. People are losing their homes, their valuables, and some even losing loved ones. Many weather records are falling with this storm, but because there is really nothing we can do to make it stop, we'll celebrate it. Here are my ten favorite "rain" songs...

    Purple Rain

    Prince

    Go ahead and laugh, tell me that Prince isn't rock, say what you will, but I believe deep down inside that everybody loves him. It's just something you are born with... Loving Prince! His best song happens to be about magical rain.

    Naked in the Rain

    Red Hot Chili Peppers

    If you celebrate rainy days in an unconventional way, then enjoy singin' in the rain sans clothes to this rain song that rocks.

    The Rain Song

    Led Zeppelin

    One of Led Zeppelin's most poetic songs is perfect to listen to while watching raindrops slowly slide down the window (you won't find a more relaxing rain song).

    Still Raining, Still Dreaming

    Jimi Hendrix

    And here's one of the best rock songs to play while daydreaming on a rainy day (Jimi's guitar has got just the groove to chase your blues away).

    Riders on the Storm

    The Doors

    Here's one of the best rock songs that actually features the sound of rain in the background, and it's the perfect tune to listen to when traveling down a spooky road on a rainy night.

    Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

    Creedence Clearwater Revival

    During your stroll, you encounter a few neighbors. One of them wants to know if you've ever seen a rain quite like that one. You'd rather answer to John Fogerty, so you select Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?' off 1970's 'Pendulum.' The track comes to an end, and you wonder if the rain will end, too. Time to cue up CCR's 'Who'll Stop the Rain.'

    No Rain

    Blind Melon

    And if you're looking for mellow rock songs to play along with the pitter-patter of raindrops, this one is perfect to listen to while watching puddles gather rain. P.S. I love bumblebees...

    Rain

    The Beatles

    You throw on your coat and grab your umbrella as you venture out. While the worst is over, it is still drizzling outside. You realize the best way to deal with the rain is to embrace it, so you put your headphones on and let the Beatles' 'Rain' guide you through the streets. The B-side to 'Paperback Writer' provides the perfect soundtrack as you begin your walk.

    Fool in the Rain

    Led Zeppelin

    If you listen to songs like this to celebrate days when the sky is gray, then you just can't be a fool in the rain.

    November Rain

    Guns N' Roses

    The best rain rock ballad ever. For those that feel like their hearts have been struck by lightning (weathering the storm isn't always easy, but it can definitely be worth the sunny days to come).
