	Kudos on accepting the other CCR rain song.

	pete:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 05:57 GMT	4 points
	and the other counting crows song.

	Mutford:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 05:58 GMT	16 points
	What about Dylan's "Rainy Day Women"? And Manilow is spelled wrong.

	Jaspers:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 05:59 GMT	10 points
	But no such luck for Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy tRain.

	snafferty:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 05:59 GMT	6 points
	And as far as Bob Dylan songs go, "Buckets of Rain" isn't accepted either.

	Father_Time:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 06:01 GMT	8 points
	Expect to get lots of requests to put in chocolate rain.

	Wilford_Brimley:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 06:02 GMT	1 point
	"Chocolate Rain" by Tay Zonday? "Raining Blood" by Slayer?

	Chocolate Rainnnnnnnnnnnnn. Some stay dry while others feel the pain. (I move my mouth away from the mic to breathe)

	Adrian:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 07:37 GMT	17 points
	Sporcle is one of the reasons I love the internet, Chocolate Rain is one of the reasons I hate it.

	phw:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 07:57 GMT	8 points
	I could have scored two more if I kept guessing more colors of rain that rain doesn't normally come in.

	@raveneleni: The album name is Reign In Blood, the song is Raining Blood.

	When Will It Rain by Jackyl?

	kamikazepig:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 08:37 GMT	-1 points
	Box of Rain, by the Grateful Dead? an amazing song that should be here.

	RavenEleni:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 09:37 GMT	-1 points
	@adrain & scott: sorry i apologise, i was confusing the two at 7am in the morning, lol. also how about Jane Siberry - it cant rain all the time

	UK.EuroJuror:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 GMT	-3 points
	Yeech! This one had me stumped. Why no 'Don't rain on my parade'(Streisand), 'Come rain or come shine'(Billie Holliday/Ella Fitzgerald/Sinatra/Garland.....) or 'Walking in the rain'(Ronettes)? At least I could have guessed those.;)

	Freddie:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 10:41 GMT	2 points
	Minor quibble: You have, for the most part, used the most famous version of the song in this quiz- so not quite sure why 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain' was attributed to Roy Acuff, when the version of the song that is by far the most well known would be Willie Nelson's version of Fred Rose's staple. I'm 100% certain that 'Blues Eyes Crying in the Rain' wouldn't be at the bottom if Willie Nelson's name were up.

	DerKomissar:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 GMT	-4 points
	I Love this quiz, but what about The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) by Missy Elliott?

	DerKomissar:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 GMT	0 points
	No Rain by Blind Melon is one of the greatest songs ever.

	While Burt Bacharach wrote Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head, B.J. Thomas is the artist who sang the song for "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and had the major hit record with it in 1969.

	Salukimars:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 12:34 GMT	3 points
	How about "Rain" by the Beatles???

	jkd:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 12:36 GMT	5 points
	@Salukimars: I thought of that too, but it would be pretty much a freebie.

	jkd:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 12:37 GMT	0 points
	Here in Canada we remember "Rain Dance" by the Guess Who

	Jeremy:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 12:38 GMT	2 points
	What about 'The Rain' by Oran 'Juice' Jones? The ending of that song is classic.

	Emily_Howard:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 13:15 GMT	3 points
	"Raining in my heart" with Buddy Holly! I can't believe that's not on there, I sing it every time it rains! Another serious omission is "Why does it always rain on me" by Travis. That's my second favorite rain-song. I'm very disappointed.

	Eddie Dean:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 13:17 GMT	2 points
	"Rain on the Scarecrow" by John Cougar Mellencamp....

	Havok3595:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 13:30 GMT	4 points
	Rain Song is another song by Led Zeppelin, which is why it's counted as an alternate answer.

	radiosilence:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 14:38 GMT	2 points
	Very minor, but Peter Gabriel should be 1986. As a separate quiz, we should fill in the blanks on Oran Juice Jones' "The Rain," specifically the rap at the end. :+)

	Tapestry:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 14:39 GMT	0 points
	Just A Walkin' in the Rain by Johnnie Ray big hit in the 50s, it was number 1 in 1957 for 7 weeks!

	ShepherdBook:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:02 GMT	7 points
	For Dylan, I kept trying "Rainy Day Women #12 & #35" to no avail. Sigh.

	tiganeman:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:07 GMT	4 points
	It's a rainy night in Georgia...feels like it's rainin' all over the world...

	Bray:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:17 GMT	0 points
	I don't think It's Raining Men is about rain. xD

	charlie:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:21 GMT	2 points
	Nice job on accepting both creedence songs! I was impressed! What about "why does it always rain on me" by "travis"?

	Lulu:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:42 GMT	3 points
	For a bonus answer, Chopin's 'Raindrop Prelude' could be included.

	jzev:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:47 GMT	1 point
	Bob Dylan's 'Rainy Day Woman'?

	Josh:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:59 GMT	2 points
	"The Rain Song" is a different song than "Fool In The Rain" though, so if the quiz is going to accept A and B then the answer box should probably say "A or B" rather than just "B".
