It's been sort of a dark damp day here in New York so I've been listening to some nice rainy day music to go along with the weather. Anyway as far as Pearl Jam goes with rainy day songs I feel Immortality is king. Also pretty much all of Riot Act has a slower, rainy day feel to it. What are you're favorite rainy day songs and or albums? Enjoy the crappy weather, back to work tomorrow wohoo :(.

    Yeah, it's all pretty chill stuff. Good for zoning out

    It doesn't really rain here, but I tend to make mixes "just in case"

    Any jazz really does it for me..Miles, Coltrane, Monk, Parker....you get the drift. Just sit back and enjoy.
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff

    You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    the first 2 shinedown records for me remind me of the rain and thunder, cos i whacked them on 1 day a few years back while it was pishing down and lightning and thundering and i opened the curtains wide open and just stared out the windy. and anything by cold (RIP).
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    I agree, I tend to listen to Binaural and Riot Act on rainy days. Nothing As It Seems is the quintessential rainy day song for me.
