Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath - the opening of the the first track on their their first LP, starting with the sound of rain: certainly not backgound as it starts creating the chilling atmosphere

Having had time to think, a few more -
The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain
Deacon Blue - Raintown
Buddy Holly - Raining In My Heart
I cannot believe I got here before @Peder Tina Turner - I Can’t Stand The Rain, although my preference is for Ann Peebles.
For real rain, African Sanctus, or a bit more obscure Wardruna - Yygdrassil.
Classically, The Four Seasons

I recall a track from this album (O Sacred Head) being played by Doug Graham and Mark Tucker at a Naim Audio presentation many years ago. Whilst recording the track the heavens opened and the sound of the rain was picked up on the tape. It adds significantly to the atmosphere. Quite a good reference track too.

After watching the puddles fill for days, listening to Rachel Unthank sing the lullaby:
*Can’t stop it raining.
*Can’t plug a hole in the sky.
seems very appropriate.
