One thing I have always enjoyed about living in southern California has been the weather. Year round, it's usually pretty sunny and not too hot or too cold. Today, however, a large storm system moved in from the Pacific Ocean and it's raining cats and dogs! Lots of thunder and lightning as well to make things even more fun. To be completely honest though, there are so few days like this lately that I kind of enjoy the cooler weather when it blows in off the ocean!
The weather got me thinking that it might be fun to share a Three Tune Tuesday about a rain based theme. It's something I've never done before, so I'll give it a shot! There are so many potential songs to go with here, but I'll go with at least one well known song. This should be fun!
But first off I want to say thank you to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event where you can share three songs that you enjoy. One lucky participant will win some HSBI units, you can't have too many of those! So if you don't already participate feel free to jump in, just use the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze .
Let's dive on into the rain!
Guns N' Roses
Alright, I'll admit it. It's hard to do a song about the rain without including "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses. I will also confess it's far from my favorite song of theirs. But it was a huge hit off of the 1991 album Use Your Illusion 1 album. Having discussed this band's origins many times in the past I'll pass on that today. Just enjoy some "November Rain":
The Cult
This rock band was formed in Bradford, England in 1983, and the next year already had a recording contract and album released. Their first album Dreamtime sold moderately well in the UK, but not much elsewhere. In 1986 their sophomore album fared much better, named Love, it featured the song "She Sells Sanctuary" that charted in the UK, US, Europe, and Australia. Another great song off of that same album was "Rain":
Soundgarden
Formed in Seattle, Washington in 1984, this legendary band, fronted by the late Chris Cornell, was one of the pioneers of grunge music along with other acts like Nirvana and Alice In Chains. In 1988 they released their third studio album Louder Than Love that garnered them nationwide attention and a spot on the Billboard Top 200. However, it was their 1991 album Badmotorfinger that really launched their career to new heights. In 2010 they released this great song called "Black Rain":
That will wrap up this edition of my Three Tune Tuesday for this week. I do hope you enjoyed my selections! Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below, and as always I greatly appreciate all of your support. I have grown my account massively over the last two years thanks to all of your kindness and friendship! Have a great day everyone!

'Black rain' is rockingly good rock! But I dont like Chris Cornell's voice, simply cant appreciate his vocal manner ))))
!LOLZ
Probably I'd choose the Cult post-punk version as my fave. 😉
I agree on Chris Cornell's voice in this one, he should have used a deeper range! The song seriously rocks though! I think The Cult is my fav of the three too, but they are one of my favorite bands so I may be a little biased! lol

Personally my favorite record from the Cult is the 87 record Rick Rubin produced!
Three nice picks.
So having some British weather are you lol! Rain then, I thought of the first three songs with Rain in the title that came to me and none of them were these 3.
Think Prince, The Weather Girls and Eurthymics..
Of your 3 I am picking Soundgarden for the win today.
Soundgarden's song is a good one isn't it? Eurythmics is just too easy as would be Prince, although I was never a real big Prince fan. I thought about diving back into the late 60's or early 70's with some more obscure stuff, but went with the mix from the 8j0's, 90's and 2000's!
Yeah I thought he was a bit of a pillock but some of his stuff was ok.
It was hard not to like Little Red Corvette!
Oh yes that was a belter indeed.

Man, the more I listen to Mother Love Bone, the more I think if Andrew Wood didn’t pass away in 1990
They’d of bridged Grunge & GNR type rock! So good!
Such a loss, they could have been a huge musical influence had he lived...
Great minds & such 🧠

Greetings friend, I only know one Guns Rose Very explosive music, I like pop and romantic music more, but I like to know varieties
In this one they weren't all that explosive, more of a ballad and pretty romantic. The other two were more hard rock though!
Hay mucha musica romantica en America Latina, a mi me encanta tambien!

Here I thought you were going to share "it never rains in southern California"!
It really doesn't all that often, which I guess why I enjoy it when it actually does!
“ Thunder, and lightning”,……. That happens so infrequently in the Pacific Northwest!
The first time we had a thunderstorm when we moved up here, all the employees at the company I was working stopped
working to look out the windows and watch the lightning Lol!🙄😇
Thunderstorms aren't uncommon here, although most storms of the Pacific just rain! I guess the cooler ocean up there doesn't spawn many thunderheads!
I really miss thunderstorms Lol!😇
In the summertime in Cincinnati, you could expect a thunderstorm every 7 to 10 days!
An hour or so later….. sunshine!😎
In the Caribbean in the wet season you got them basically every afternoon!
Wow…. I hope they were quick and short if they were every afternoon!😇☺️
Yes! What a great selection to enjoy the rain!
High caliber to continue bringing rock and roll to life!
Thank you my friend! I'm glad you liked it!

Greetings friend, I love cool weather, average, not too much sun or too much rain.
Rain themes are interesting. I know a few songs with that theme, but they're more salsa and merengue. A Caribbean style.
A big hello
