Song/albums that have an "autumn" vibe

Ones with rain in them: Rainy Night in Soho by The Pogues, November Rain by GNR, Love Reign O'er Me by The Who. All three very beautiful ballads. Not the two 'rain' songs by CCR, as all CCR songs have a summer vibe to them.

She Was Hot by The Rolling Stones, you wouldn't expect it, it's one of their best songs on one of their worst albums.

70's Pink Floyd albums, especially Dark Side.

Tom Waits' Downtown Train and a few off his live album Big Time.

Song to a Siren by Robert Plant. That's the version I know, but apparently there are many covers of this song. It's by Tim Buckley, I think.

Anna Lee by Dream Theater, maybe a bit too bombastic though, I think of 'autumn' songs as being a bit more understated.

The entire Dire Straits discography.

Chris Rea's Road to Hell, parts 1 and 2. Part 2 is the famous one, but I prefer the first one.

Bob Dylan albums Oh Mercy and Time out of Mind, especially the latter, and especially the song Highlands (you won't find it on youtube). Also maybe Blood on the Tracks.

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

Type O Negative - October Rust (album), September Sun and Halloween in Heaven (songs)

To me Autumn is the beginning of beautiful desolation year after year. Jar of Flies definitely has a "beginning of the end" depression to it and TON are just very dark/goth in general so yeah.

That's a cool way of interpreting Jar of Flies!

I always think of AIC (especially Black Gives Way To Blue, Dirt, and Jar of Flies) as winter albums because not only did I start listening to them in the winter quite a few years ago, but I also saw them in concert last winter so I always associate dark and cold weather with AIC

That's true. How about Screaming Trees, then?

Everytime I hear Nearly Lost You or Dollar Bill I start to feel that autumn breeze.

Yeah I definitely get that vibe from Screaming Trees, especially Sweet Oblivion

I also get an autumn feel from the stuff Mark Lanegan did with Isobel Campbell
