(blogger was down, so this is late)
10. It’s Raining It’s Pouring
9. Walkin’ in the Rain (The Party)
8. Singin’ in the Rain (B. Comden, A. Green)
7. Red Rain (Peter Gabriel)
6. Blame it on the Rain (Mili Vanili)
5. Why Does it Always Rain on Me? (Travis)
4. Let the Rain Fall (Hillary Duff)
3. Let it Rain (Eric Clapton)
2. Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (B.J. Thomas ---B.J. THOMAS!! Just like the Growing Pains theme song!!!!!!!!)
and the number one Rainy Day Song according to ME, because it almost always represents how I feel:
1. Rain Rain Go Away
In the 5 minutes I allowed myself to brainstorm, I came up with all of the above and the additional songs listed below. If you can come up with more –without looking online or through your cd’s- send them over with your comments. NO CHEATING.
Crying in the Rain (Everly Brothers)
It’s Raining Men (The Weather Girls)
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Rain (L. Ahrens + S. Flaherty for the show Once on This Island)
Rain (Madonna)
Rainy Day Blues (Willie Nelson)
Rainy Days and Mondays (The Carpenters)
Rise and Shine and Sing out your Glory Glory

You left out my favorite rain song -- "Soon It's Gonna Rain," from The Fantasticks. I also like "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Mis (or should I say, Le Miserable?).
When I was in summer camp, one of the color war activities we would play on rainy days was this game where the counselor would call out a word, and each team would have to sing a song that included that word. The teams would alternate songs until one couldn't think of a new one -- making the other the winner of that round. You'd be good at that game!

Also there's this Mariah Carey song my mother and sister are obsessed with -- "Through the Rain."

LAME LAME LAME.
How can you list 'Top 10 Rainy Day Songs' and not mention the perennial 80s favorite, 'The Rain' by Oran Juice Jones (you read that right, punks!)
'I saw you....AND HIM....walking in The Rain....you were hol-ding ha-ands and I'll....never be the same....'
It's also got a great rant about her abuse of his credit cards, and the famous line of 'Silly rabbit, Trix are for Kids'.
Classic
