1962, but crying in the rain is a kinda-perfect, weirdly-obsessive, noir-ish little 50s pop song.

this song didn't count for the poll? it was first-released on a 1960 everly brothers' album

i guess, on second look, it wasn't a single. but what an iconic song. and their version is terrific.

depends on whether you like your rock songs delicate, slightly spooky, or bombastic. for me, depends on mood. but who can argue the greatness of the orbison version?
