Instead of Instagramming the raindrops on your window and hashtagging  “#sandy,” some of us at The Temple News suggests you utilize the two days of cancelled classes to enjoy music most fitting for rainy weather.

With a little help from Fear of Music Columnist Kevin Stairiker, here’s the ideal Hurricane Sandy playlist:

“Blame it on the Rain” – Milli Vanilli

“I Hear the Rain” – Violent Femmes

“Purple Rain”  – Prince

“Sunday Morning” – Maroon 5

“I Feel the Earth Move” – Carole King

“The Kind of Boy You Can’t Forget” – The Raindrops

“I Think It’s Going to Rain Today” – Nina Simone

“Train Under Water” – Bright Eyes

“Raining Blood” – Slayer

“Raining in my Heart” – Buddy Holly

Honorable Mention: “Sandy” – John Travolta
