Donovan suffered a lot of criticism mostly because, as a singer songwriter in the folk/pop vein, he wasn’t Bob Dylan (whom it was said he was trying to emulate.) But who – apart from Dylan – was?

OK, he was maybe a bit soft centred but Donovan still did some good stuff like Sunshine Superman, Season Of The Witch, Hurdy Gurdy Man.

And in Atlantis he contrived what must be the only use of the word antediluvian in a pop song (except of course he speaks it.)

It wasn’t a big hit in the UK or US – it came at a time when his career was waning – but it did make No. 2 in Germany and No. 1 in Switzerland.
