Donovan is one of the most underrated voices in popular music.  He's also a great song writer.  Bob dylan used to be called 'the amercian donovan'.  Hearing "catch the wind" on a commerical just now reminded me of how amazing he is.

I agree, I like Donovan too.  Sometimes i'll throw on Season of Witch in between Cannibal Corpse and Fear Factory.

My favorite scene in "Don't Look Back" has Donovan singing one of his sweetly innocuous folk songs to Bob Dylan in a hotel room full of British flacks.  Dylan says something sarcastic afterwards and responds by singing "Its All Over Now Baby Blue".Donovan looks like a deer caught in the headlights during the song or more appropriately, anyone entering the ring with Mike Tyson in the late '80s early '90s.

I thought i was kinda lame when i first started listening to Donovan.Then i realized im pretty awesome so the music has to have some merit.

a lot of people in the 1960s tried to make trippy sounding songs that would compare to lucy in the sky with diamonds.  donovan was one of the few to get it right and real, and maybe the only one to do it better than the beatles

Cosmic Wheels is poor forgotten Donovan's most forgotten album & it's a pretty groovy 1!!!<img src="http://www.vinyltap.co.uk/gallery/do/donovcw4986773063754590.jpg" border="0" width="292" height="300" />He still plays that fuckin' nutty guitar to this day!!!

'Catch the Wind' was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. Absolutely love Donovan and have for a while...the best song, though, is 'Atlantis' just because its so fucking wacky, only Donovan could come up with something like that. I'm stealing the Donovan clip link for my video archive on my facebook page. :)

Damn...I just looked in the guy that posted the Atlantis video's YouTube library. He has a ton of classics from the Smothers Brothers show...I just watched Kenny Rogers & The First Edition perform "Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In"and, Joan Baez perform the old Ron & Fez WJFK songs "The Night They Drove Dixie Down" and "I Shall Be Released"Awesome library, this guy has.   EDIT : More Donovan too -  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljQsX4nUZOI" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljQsX4nUZOI">To Love Me</a>

Donovan's pretty cool.  It helps when your music is arranged by John Paul Jones and features Jimmy Page on guitar -- like on "Hurdy Gurdy Man".
