Song Association Wednesday #8: Name a song to associate with the following weather conditions?

Hey Ryan. Glad to see another installment. I hope you're doing well. Once again, word association fashion, let's see what comes to mind:

1. Flooding - Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood

2. Blizzards - Art Brut - DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshakes (must be the Dairy Queen connection)

3. Hurricanes - Tall Tales and the Silver Lining - Hurricane

4. Heat - Heatwave - the Grooveline

5. Rain - the Beatles - Rain

6. Smog - Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair (I have no idea why)

BA: We get heat and smog and occasionally rain out here. The smog also isn't nearly as bad as it used to be 10 or so years ago, so there's some progress.

EDIT: Now I'm thinking about flooding and wishing a little that Tom Brosseau had come to mind. Great tune:

Here Comes the Water Now

Hello Ryan!

1. Flooding: Talk Talk - 'After the Flood'

2. Blizzards: Radiohead - 'Kid A' (I guess the snowy mountains make me think of it).

3. Hurricanes: Scorpions - 'Rock You Like A Hurricane'

4. Heat: Weezer - 'El Scorcho'

5. Rain: The Blue Nile - 'Tinseltown in the Rain'

6. Smog: Deep Purple - 'Smoke on the Water'

Sorry if this isn't too great, but I hope it's better than my attempt yesterday that was so bad I decided to leave it and try again today.

1. Flooding - Texas Flood, SRV

2. Blizzards - Colder Weather, Zach Brown Band

3. Hurricanes - Like a Hurricaine, Neil Young

4. Heat - Heat Wave, Martha and the Vandellas

5. Rain - Rainy Day Dream Away, Hendrix

6. Smog - Purple Haze, Hendrix

BQ: 1,2,4, and 5, plus tornadoes, ice storms, and lightning strikes.

Big skies out here.

If you don't mind campfire food, the nights can be a religious experience:
