Songs About Storms

Yeah, I went there. I was already thinking about doing a Songs About Storms post when my friend Caleb sent me a playlist he'd put together. I "borrowed" some of the best ones from his list (most of the classic rock tunes you'll find here), added a few of my own, and here it is! Enjoy?  ~  JH
