Songs About The Rain & Thunder  

They're a Finnish band ! I tried out a 90-second clip of AC DC " Thunderstruck" .. It got blocked. This worked out better, anyway. Another killer thread, Chris.. And Long live rock n roll ! 🤘

Hello, Mike.. At first I remembered "Reign On Me" as the last track of the album, when in fact.. It's the last track on the A side ! Back in the day, I often listened to the a side, only.. I used to burn through albums left and right, and having fun with my records. Glad that you have seen that terrific AC DC cover !

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Reign on me is such a fabulous track, definitely a huge highlight on Quadrophenia.

In Pete's words of describing the meaning, and title of this epic song.. a double meaning, word play .. Reign ( rule ) and Jimmy the mod, finding redemption in the pouring rain" In the words of the mighty Peter Townshend ! 🎵 Thanks, Mike. I recently pulled out a nice copy of the Quadrophenia soundtrack from Bill's 👍

I just brought it up on RU-vid.. Terrific song, James ! I picked up a Cascades 45 recently, and I hope I find one of these in my thrifting adventures. Thank you for checking this out..

Haha.. You did ! So many killer rain songs ! The one on Houses Of The Holy is pretty awesome as well !

That is a good choice ! I have Scott Walker and various Walker Bros. on Cd.. But not much on vinyl. Streaming him will work just fine, and I will listen to "It's Raining Today" after dinner. Thanks so much

Thunderstruck" !! 🤘 Too bad you can't spin AC DC for Tipsy Tuesday.. Chris does good threads, for sure, I dropped what I was doing to jump in on this one. A very inspiring thread, for sure. Thanks, Aaron

@@jtsrecordroom3963 yeah i tried to play the Australian version of High Voltage and it was blocked! Thanks JT🤘🤘

And we know the story of that day in Paris ! Thanks for looking in on this one, I had fun doing it, and at the end I had the original clip of " Thunderstruck" by AC DC..It got blocked, 2nd best worked out just fine, though..

A fun one to make as responses to Chris 's threads always are..🤘 Thunderstruck !

Yeah man.. Riders On The Storm !! LA Woman is another Doors song that I don't get tired of. Good to hear from you, and thanks, Rich

I'm listening now ! Great tune, and I have been picking up a lot of Doo Wop and other early 60's 45's while thrifting. Old music is good music ! Thanks, Ed

I used s 90 second clip of AC DC " Thunderstruck" at the end, and it didn't fly.. Blocked ! This worked out better, anyway. That band is out of Finland. I had seen it before. The full video is awesome ! Thanks, Mike 🎵

@@jtsrecordroom3963 I had only one video blocked months ago when I used AC/DC's Have a drink on me. I deleted it and had to start over!

Ahhh, you know Hayseed Dixie ! They guys are actually out of Finland. Steve n Seagulls. Thank you, Mike. I love Pete's masterpiece ( one of many ) Love Reign Over Me and the entire Quadrophenia performance with Jimmy the mod in the pouring rain towards the ending..

Lots to choose from for this thread, too many great songs about the rain, actually ! Thanks for watching this one. It is appreciated 🎵

Rain Song is an awesome choice as well ! Houses Of The Holy is by far my most listened to Led Zeppelin album 🎵 Cool 🤘

@jtsrecordroom3963 Hey that's great! An awesome album. Yes it would've been a difficult list to narrow down! Sorry I haven't dropped by lately for a view, been very busy and had a hiatus from RU-vid for a while! I've been playing with a new band which takes up a fair bit of my spare time. Hoping to upload some footage soon. Cheers.

Andrew.. No problem at all, and good to hear from you ! Sean and I have been watching film footage from South Australia lately.. Maybe someday soon ! Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales ! We had better stay for at least a month ! Haha Cheers

This was a lot of fun to put together. If you have time, I'd like to see your response to Chris's thread ! I watched Chef Steve's just now..

You need to watch the full video of Steve n Seagulls "Thunderstruck" when you have a chance.. And don't forget to give it some volume. It reveals what a good and well written song it is ! Have a good week, Mark My nephew is in town off tour from Europe.. Rivers Of Nihil. I might take Sean down there just to watch Jared's massive drum kit get set-up

I remember ! Tony Joe's version is actually my favorite rendition. Thanks, Randy

I uploaded AC DC " Thunderstruck" first I got completely blocked ! Plan B was better.. because those Finnish guys rule !! I had seen that video. before, and I thought.. Perfect ! I've been watching a lot of AC DC lately.. I love that band ! Thanks, Cristian

My intro was an homage to Blade Runner with the Vangelis music. That was always one of my favorite films.

That Thunderstruck cover is by Steven n Seagulls.. A Finnish band. I have seen it many times, and glad RU-vid didn't squash it ! Thanks, Sam 😉

Yes I was ! It was raining in my record room, not outside.. A little atmospheric liberty by.. Me ! Haha

No, I didn't see yours.. I will have a look in a bit. This is a Finnish band at the end covering Thunderstruck" I love it, their whole performance of it is awesome ! Thanks a lot 🤘

The obvious , but.. We can't get any better than "Purple Rain" A perfect rain song !

I had to do this thread ! Chris always creates good ones, Steve. That is a Finnish band at the end.. I had seen the vid before, as it is wildly popular. Are you back in the inland empire ?

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Still in Taos. We’ll be home on Monday. I actually was able to participate in the Rain Songs thread with the small amount of records I have up here in Taos. Incredibly I the 5 records/songs I shared I found just last week digging up here in Taos.

I will listen to this after I take Sean to school. I can't remember this Uriah Heep tune.. I am curious. Thanks, Harry !

I love that cover of "Thunderstruck" and have been blasting AC DC's epic as well, yesterday while making this little video. Thank you, Mike 🤘

Awesome ! I have about 600 on blank Cd's, and I still have my mix tape collection, including bootleg Grateful Dead ✌

Oh yeah.. I have listened to that a ton ! Mostly at work in the late 80's and 1990's. Nice pick. This was a fun thread. See you on yours, and thanks !

Yeah.. good one ! I was just listening to Mickey Newbury's "Sunshine" recently. Great artist / Singer songwriter ! Cool ✌

Thanks a lot ! 🎶

Coincidentally.. I almost went with " Rain" by The Beatles, and I love Graham Parker music, I will listen to it ! Who else did " I Can't Stand The Rain".. I'm pretty sure Etta James did a great rendition as well ! Nice ones 🎵

Ben.. You are the only one to give a nod to Vangelis and one of my all-time favorite films Blade Runner ! I ran the original AC DC Thunderstruck, and of course they blocked it completely.. 2nd choice worked out even better with this killer Finnish band. The full vid is pretty amazing, and shows what a well written tune Thunderstruck is ! Sean and I are off to see cousin Jared.. Metal Blade recording artist for Rivers Of Nihil. Check out for 1 minute his beautiful clear kit on the video.. Rivers Of Nihil "A Home" shot in a warehouse.. You Tube of course !

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Have a great night 👍

Thanks, were back, bedtime now. The band signed my "Rivers" album... Sean had fun !

I have been getting comments about "Love Reign O'er Me" on my little video.. In Pete's words.. The Song has a great deal to do with the rain.. Cleansing Jimmy as he was having a personal crisis.. With nothing left to live for, he finds redemption in the pouring rain" In the words of the mighty Mr. Townshend. Part of his genius with his lyrics, a double meaning.. Reign, and rain

@@jtsrecordroom3963 I was just stirring 👍

Absolutely ! All 3 are amazing, and I have been listening to John Hiatt lately. I don't know about you, but I am a massive Dylan fan, and that was just a figure of speech because I know... You are too ! 👍 Burt Bacharach, having Dionne sing most of his songs, is just terrific

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Thanks. I just spun my Hwy 61 sacd today. So you got me there! 2 runner ups for me, REM I'll take the rain, and Rosanne Cash It's raining in my heart. Keep'em spinning! I'll check out some of your picks I'm not familiar with!

@mondoenterprises6710 SACD very cool ! I was just telling my partner at work about them.. He didn't get it ! Haha 😆 My Blu ray player spins them in our living room. " Highway 61" .. Nice ! Thanks for checking out some of my picks..

Love REM ! And I haven't heard that Rosanne Cash song in a long time, I'll give it a listen tonight. My Samsung Blu Ray player spins SACD's ( I have 15 or so, I guess ?

Yeah Recs.. I got into the theme of things on this great Chris thread ! So many possibilities. I don't do as many contests or threads anymore, but I still fit a few in. Too cool that you saw these boys from Finland live ! Their video is off the hook incredible ( I had to watch the mighty AC DC afterwards ) 🤟

OK.. I'm alright with Barry, and Wayne. Very big stars those two. My Brother In Law ( drummer ) did 2 world tours with Englebert in the early 1990's. Good work, and very good money ! Thanks for watching..

Yep.. That is a banger, and have my Quo right in the living room under my turntable.. Good pick !

Absolutely.. and it is an obvious one, for sure ! Houses Of The Holy is my favorite Zep LP.. These are the ones I thought of, its not a top 5 or a ranking video of the very best rain songs.. Just 5 songs about the rain, and there are tons ! Thanks, Doug 👍

105 degrees is the average daytime high temp in Las Vegas in the month of July.

Hey Mark.. Right, as I said in my video.. Riders On The Storm was released on the radio in June 1971, shortly before Jim's death in Paris.

Yep.. AC DC ! I tried running the original Thunderstruck, and it got blocked. 2nd best was this fun cover by this Finnish band, Steve n Seagulls.

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Why does one get blocked and the other one goes through? your not stealing anything from Ac/dc why is there a problem? I could see there point if you recored a concert from say 1981 and you didn't have permission for the copy right this I can see but the other side I don't understand?

I'm not sure why Mark. I think some bigger channels ask permission to use this or that. It's a bit complicated, I don't sweat it, though, or ever mention on my channel with what I go through to create each video.. I like making little films, so .. No.problem ! 🎵

Tell.me, what did I do with The Who ? I had a feeling something was off a bit ! I went back to see and left it alone. Thanks for watching, anyhow !

I think you mean.. On the soundtrack, " Love Reign" is the 5th track... On the studio LP, it is the last track. Is that it ? Thanks !

Ahh, I get it. " Love Reign Over Me" is the last track on the A side. I always remember this as if it's the last song of the album. Back in the day.. I would often listen to side one only ! 🎵

5:15 is such a killer track on the B Side ! This got me listening to Quadrophenia this morning 😊

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Reign means to rule. Nothing to do with rain.

Huh ? I almost get it. Either way, thanks for checking this thread response out ! See you on your channel 😊

@@jtsrecordroom3963 I was going to tell a story of my first time hearing Riders on the Storm after watching Tom Snyder interview a hitmam when I was 8.

Ahh.. OK I get it ! I liked your Sun Valley video 👍
