Top Ten Rock Songs Featuring Thunder
Sorry about the recent lack of new lists; I've felt the need to reduce my activity here lately. Anyways, this list is about rock songs that feature thunder as a sound effect. Please don't add non-rock items to the list. With that established, feel free to add more songs; if you do, please tell me where the thunder can be heard in the song.There are thunder sounds spread out throughout the whole song. I think it's the perfect way of setting up the ambience of the tune.
Really great first choice. Love this song.
Another really famous example. The thunder can be heard at the beginning and end of the song.

The thunder and rain can be heard at the beginning, while a bell tolls softly in the distance.
The thunder comes in at the end, right before Freddie says the last two words. In the liner notes for the album, they included the phrase "Thunderbolt courtesy of God".

The thunder sounds are subdued throughout the whole song. You can hear it most prominently towards the end.

There's a lot of wind noise and thunder at the beginning of the piece.
There are sounds of thunder throughout the song. Ray Davies originally wanted the songs on the album to be bridged together by sound effects, but the executives at Pye Records objected to this. Nonetheless, three of the songs (including this one) still retain their sound effects.
The thunder occurs at the beginning and the end of the song.

In the last minute.
There's no actual thunder in Thunderstruck. Unless it's buried in the mix to the point where you can't hear it.
