I am having an argument with a co worker regarding the folk singer Donovan. Please name one Donovan song and I will collect this information and compile it into an easily digestible chart in the next day or so. Thanks for your assistance.

Don't worry about repeating songs either. I'm just looking to compile info on the first song people think about when they hear the name Donovan. Like if I were to lend you a cd of Donovan's Greatest Hits, what is the first song you'd think of and expect to see on the cd?

In that case I would have to say Sunshine Superman.

Probably not my favorite, but that would definitely be Sunshine Superman.

"hurdy gurdy man" is the first to come to mind because it's pretty much the best song ever.

Hurdy Gurdy Man is everything that Rock n Roll is meant to be, where the entire The Hurdy Gurdy Man album is just amazing (Get They Bearings is my next fav off that album)

No need to go that far.

But when you don't have Colours and Catch the Wind on your list.....

Those are classics

Hurdy Gurdy Man.

FWIW, John Paul Jones played bass on that. You may know of him from his work with Dave Grohl.

First one that comes to mind is Mellow Yellow.

But I'm a huge Donovan fan, so a good 10+ songs quickly follow.

Donovan duets with Alice Cooper on the title track of Billion Dollar Babies, most folks forget that song is a duet.

Without looking at any of the other posts, the only song that comes to mind is "Sunshine Superman" and I couldn't even tell you how that song goes.

"Sunshine Superman" comes to mind first, followed shortly by "Hurdy Gurdy Man". Have I mentioned I love Donovan?
