I woke up in Seattle this morning to a forcast of 80+ degrees F for the next couple of days following a week of pretty volatile weather. This is the first time this spring that the weather will have breached the 80 degree mark. It signals a bit of a turning point toward summer weather. As I drove to work this morning, sunroof open, I felt this immediate urge to listen to Sublime and it made me think about music that sunny weather inspires me to listen to and then conversely rainy weather.
...So my question is, if this is a factor for you, what are your 5 favorite sunny weather bands? What are your 5 favorite depressing rainy weather bands? If a specific album applies feel free to list that as well. Sunshine: Sublime Bob Marley & The Wailers The Thrills (So Much For The City) Ozomatli Jurassic 5 Downpour: The Cure The Smiths Stone Roses (2nd Coming) Alice in Chains (Dirt) Black Sabbath

Hey, NiTRO--I like this thread.
Rainy: Cranes ("Wings of Joy") The The ("Mind Bomb") Swans or Joy Division (many similarities) Beethoven--Pastoral Symphony--not depressing--rain = life & happiness. Good for sunny days, too. Kate Bush ("Hounds of Love"). Sunny: The Beatles Squirrel Nut Zippers Primus Red Hot Chili Peppers (the fast, funky stuff) Flogging Molly (the fast, drunken, punky stuff) Edit: I've gotta throw in U2's "The Joshua Tree" for rainy music--for some reason it always makes me think of rain.

I don't know that I think of most of this as necessarily depressing or happy, but it's what I find most fitting for the weather.
Rain: The Smiths Radiohead Sigur Ros Elliott Smith Karate Sunny: Spoon The Sea and Cake The Flaming Lips The Decemberists Belle and Sebastian

Have to think of this one a little more, but here in Massachusetts, its been rainy and cold for the past 10 days...I'm listening to CocoRosie right now, extremely appropriate.
