    "Kentucky Rain," by Elvis. An Eddie Rabbit song, I think.

    Hell yeah.



    Here's something you've probably never heard: the full 9-minute 'Hey Jude' version:

    (some NSFW Woodstock pics late in the video)



    Never figured out why Melanie Safka didn't become a much bigger star ; she followed up "Lay Down" with "Brand New Key," a funny-sexy [but not too sexy] novelty song which did dent the charts, so I guess that made her a 1 1/2-hit wonder.

    Stevie Nicks 6 years ahead of her time. For that matter I never figured out why Nicks and Fleetwood Mac didn't take a run at "Lay Down"; it would have been perfect for their style.

    Shoutout to The Rain King, Counting Crows, and so many high school afternoons I loved doing nothing, going nowhere.

    Can't believe it took three pages for Who'll Stop the Rain. And if we're posting videos, here's the original CCR, not the remake crap Starman posted with Seger and Fogerty WAY past their prime.

    "purple Rain" has got to be one of the dreariest hit songs of my lifetime.
    Hard for a non-depressive to shake their ass to this song and think, "Wow, this shit really makes me feel good."
