[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Morphine, lots of Morphine..."cure for pain", especially

maybe a little cocteau twins, then some sundays, then how about some galaxie 500...wait, this is a really dreary day??  ;D

 Beck - Sea Change, I listened to it last night and it truly is an amazing album.

[whothrewthecake]

HA!  Yeah, and a little bit of Travis.

Hmm, rainy days.  I like Townes' Nashville Sessions on days like that.  Johnny Cash American III.  hmm...  I don't know.

Morphine, lots of Morphine...

"TOP FLOOR BOTTOM BUTTON"

Jerry Garcia--"The Wheel" (off CD Garcia)

Grateful Dead--American Beauty

[tomEisenbraun]

What about


Iron and Wine

Agreed!

Also, I find that Steve Burns (The original Blues Clues guy), his album Songs For Dustmites, is pretty good for a rainy day. Nick Drake is also choice rainy day music.

Jayhawks 'Rainy Day Music' is always good & Emmylou Harris' 'Red Dirt Girl. The Beck suggestion was nice too.

and of course, Acoustic Citsuoca!

[ChiefOKONO]

any and all Gram Parsons!!!!

any and all Gram Parsons!!!!

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.  For sure.  

I still get chills every time I listen to GP and Grievous Angel - and I have listened to those records a lot.  And they're sad, and wonderful - and I think the main thing is that Gram and Emmylou were built to sing together.

Cat Power
pre-fusion Miles Davis
Neutral Milk Hotel

[inertiatic_jpc]

i find jeff buckley's 'corpus christy carol' suits a rainy day.
also those songs that start with rain like,
the doors - riders on the storm, and
at the drive-in - Quarantined

[lfish]

Ok maybe a weird choice but I like it a lot...

October Rust by Type O Negative.

And of Course:

Neil Young - on the beach ( the cover says it all)

[havibulin]

Morphine, lots of Morphine..."cure for pain", especially
Beck - Sea Change,

both of those are awesome. One of my personal favorite is Radioheads Pyramid Song...

Folk Implosion
Sleepy Jackson "Rain Falls for the Wind."
Arcade Fire  Anything from "The Funeral" (although I have yet to find weather/conditions that this album is not suitable for. My favorite condition for this one, however, has been driving in the snow at night).

I heard Sleepy Jackson for the first time last week.  I really liked them.

AND, I actually wrote a song about driving in a car in the snow, and listening to Arcade Fire.  ha!  It IS pretty nice to do.
