Song: Have You Ever Seen the Rain

Quick Thoughts: An American rock band popular in the late 1960s and early '70s.Over the years, there's been a great deal of speculation about the song's meaning, with some drawing links to Vietnam, the idealism of the 1960's, and events such as the Kent State shootings. However, Fogerty himself has said that the song is about rising tension within the band and the imminent departure of his brother Tom from the band. I love the poetry of this song, and the voice of John Fogerty is entirely unforgettable. This is a great song, and not surprisingly, it's been featured in numerous films and tv shows over the years.

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
