Carpenters- Rainy Days and Mondays
Is there a voice both melancholic and upbeat as Karen Carpenter? This was a huge mainstream hit and continues to be a regular on the radio.
Prince- Purple Rain

Led Zeppelin- The rain song
Jimmy Page has mentioned that the vocals on this song could possibly be his best. Who can argue? Also those lovely words crooned by the maestro- âupon us all a little rain must fall.'
Garbage- I'm Only Happy When it Rains
This song is all about melancholia and embracing distress. The band was anything like their name and made many a haunting song similar to this one.
