Wonderful Summer by Robin Ward does it for me ... Remember (Walking in the Sand) by the Shangri-Las does a good job in the same vein, but I've never been a big fan. Numerous tracks have rain/thunder; Rhythm of the Rain by the Cascades to name just one.

CD's are intrinsically better than vinyl. 5. Vinyl is intrinsically better than CD. 6. Only the golden years made "great music". 7. This is the golden age of music, why dwell on "older music". 8. Artists should ignore money, fame, their desires, or the masses desires and instead do what I want them to do. 9. I don't like to physically collect the music (or items) of my favorite artists. (Although I can respect the statement. Especially if space issues are the reason). 10. We need fewer deluxe CD's, deluxe boxes, fewer releases that celebrate albums, etc.
