  Title Artist notes
1. Rain The Beatles rain, i don't mind. shine, the weather's fine
2. Kathy's Song Simon & Garfunkel and as i watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die, i know that i am like the rain. there, but for the grace of you, go i
3. Rain Song Led Zeppelin upon us all, a little rain must fall. just a little rain? ooooh yeah
4. Africa Toto i bless the rains down in africa...
5. No Rain Blind Melon all i can say is that my life is pretty plain and i like watching the puddles gather rain

other mentionables: box of rain (the dead), flowers never bend with the rainfall (simon & garfunkel). i didn't put this song on because i'm not sure the focus is as much on the rain as on the, well, flowers, in this case. also, rain on the roof (lovin spoonful). and a hard rain's a-gonna fall (dylan) is a great song but it's clearly not about rain. and what's worse is that it makes nuclear war analogous to the beautiful rain.

no, no buckets of rain. though it's a great song, it's not one of my favorite dylan songs and he is cursed with having higher standards, so it didn't make the list. it's also not really one of my favorite dylan albums, and the five i have on here are pretty stellar, in my (obvious) opinion
