17. Led Zepplin--Fool in the rain

One of my favorites...

[LynneSin]

21. OMG and that is one of my Top 5 LZ songs

which why they have House of the Holy and not In through the Out door for the Album I have no clue.

Here it is with Robert Plant and Eddie Vedder singing it although I think somewhere halfway through the song Plant forgets the lyrics.

It's a shame. I think this song would have been huge had Bonham not died and they toured with it. it's an an amazing song.

65. An obscure one...

Since the first ones I thought of (CCR, Albert Hammond) have already been posted, I thought I'd post this obscure bit of schmalzy Europop from the 70's. It contains the line "I don't mind the rain; it covers up the tears", and I've always wanted to ask Rutger Hauer if he was thinking of that song when he ad-libbed the "tears in rain" bit in Roy's soliloquy in Blade Runner.

[ailsagirl]
