Ohh, damn. Good call. "And all that could have been" used to give me goosebumps. Not even the lyrics, but the song's overall arrangement.

Guys, it is obvious what the real answer is.

Not sure if you are still stranded, but whatever.

There's a lot of overlap with my list of "favorite records based on production"

Off the top of my head..

Bitch Magnet - Star Booty
Slint - Spiderland
Both Joy Division albums
Nirvana - In Utero
North - Ruins
Boards Of Canada (just about anything they've done...but especially BoC Maxima)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works (Both vols 1 and 2) also I Care Because You Do, Melodies From Mars & the Analord box set
The first 6 Wu-Tang releases (Enter/Tical/Return/OB4CL/Liquid Swords/Ironman)
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
MF Doom/Viktor Vaughn - The VaudeVille Villain
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
NAS - Illmatic
Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
Smif N Wessun - Dah Shinin'
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

And Bedhead's entire catalog...all make for good listening on rainy days, whether home or commuting w/headphones.

But Jeru The Damaja - Come Clean...requires blasting out of a bassy speakerbox

I actually have a "favourite rain album". To me it's one of the most unrecognized and forgotten albums by a swedish band. They had a little bit of hype but eventually never really blew up, which is cool in one way, cause their music wasn't hyped to death, but sad in a way, cause I really thing it's some of the best music I've heard come out of Sweden in a long time. The album is called "Arches" by the group Sonjagon. People have called them a mix of Radiohead and Sonic Youth, but since I don't listen to Sonic Youth I can't say if thats true or not. Sadly they've gone on hiatus (again!) but it's still my favourite rainy day album, great stuff!
