Why the fuck did he copy Dylan ?

He copied Dylan for like one year and then moved on to more original things. Why do people still hang it over him?

/MU/ hopes that liking the most socially acceptable well known 60s bands will make them seem normal to either women or their dad's and also think that shitting on Krautrock or basically anything more intresting (this also includes Hendrix for some reason) will make them seem more acceptable to the outside world. It's a failed attempt at normalicy/failed attempt to fit in leading to increasingly boringer and bringer tastes.

LOL shut up nerd

Saying this will not get you laid nor seem like less of a nerd to other people. It just makes you seem boring and out of touch to be that guy who's still obsessed with The Beatles or Beach Boys or Kinks in The Current Year. Normal Maonstream Audiances know who The Velvet Unserground are now and have for like over a decade.

What the FUCK does this have to do with Donovan?

If it's not le epic beach boys or le epic Beatles they'll hate on it (or KISS now) because they're unaware that that actually makes then loom weird and out of touch in current year.

Tbh I haven't heard much Donovan although probably should at some point. Mostly Pearls before Swine,Ed Askew,Mark Fry,Hölderlin,Rick Hayward,and Wethusser and Westrup but not exclusively. Been a fan of Comus and Exuma aswell at other points. Want to get into Gary Higgins but haven't quite gotten around yet.

Everybody copied Dylan back then. You got enormous amount of pussy if you carried around your guitar in coffee bars and wrote some rhymes that sounded deep in ears of 16 year old pseud chick.

The english took Dylan going electric really hard and wanted their own folk bard to prop up instead. Of course, then he went electric too.

He didn't. Donnie's thing was psychedelic pop, he was way more melodic than Dylan and was a singles machine from 1966 to 1969. For some reason he completely gave up after that and spent the next 50 years raising Brian Jones' kid and talking about how he taught finger picking to John Lennon

Not a huge Dylan Fan (more psychedelia) but I will freely admit that he inspired a lot but indirectly and not. Leonard Cohen aswell.

Donovan was Dylan who wasn't afraid to take LSD, and thank god

This,don't really think 69s Shit would be as remembered without st least some of that. Also think Donovan is less original than you guys credit though.

his Sunshine Superman-Mellow Yellow-Gift From a Flower to Garden string of albums were great. Then he had some good songs scattered around



what drives a man to cope this hard

I mean I live with my girl so there's nothing for me to cope with. I'm saying this from a position of its very obviously so0yj@k redditor types who everyone else thinks is weird irl attempting to posture themselves over the taste makers.

I'll check those three albums out sometime hopefully. Thanks.

Dylan copied everyone else, he was a music industry creation intended to poison the Folk revival well with his nonsense lyrics and promotion of drugs.
