It’s one of those gods, graves, glyphs’ type of human interest stories. I don’t know who runs that list.

“Laredo Tornado” by The Electric Light Orchestra Eldorado was a masterpiece.
Don't forget "Concerto for a Rainy Day" from 'Out of the Blue' (which includes 'Mr. Blue Sky')

How about
The Seasons (all four of them!) by Antonio Vivaldi
But if baroque is not your thing, try the Great American Songbook:
Spring is Here
Summer Wind
Autumn Leaves
Winter Wonderland

It was REALLY COLD in the 60s. I went to college in northern Minnesota then. I even generated a gallon jug of chlorine gas that I placed on my porch, after learning in a chemistry class that I could liquefy it at - 39 degrees F. We had already experienced several days below -40.
I was also a Beatles fan. My only possession when I graduated from college was a self designed 'bass reflex' speaker that I used to play Beatles songs. When I left home, it was the only thing that fit in my Corvair convertible, so that's all I took with me.

Could it be that rock musicians just aren't that deep and can't concentrate on anything that's not obvious?
Or maybe Bill Ayers wrote all the songs -- weather imagery and all.
