    I know everyone's gonna vote for Bobby; but I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I like Donovan best.

    Bob Dylan. Donovan might be alright. I know that he has been called the English version of Bob Dylan. I'm not real familar with Donovan but no one even comes close to Dylan.

    I like both, but IMO Donovan took much more chances with his music, so I'm going to have to go with him. Sunshine Superman, Epistle to Dippy, Hurdy Gurdy Man...truly bizarre "pop" songs.

    I chose Dylan because he is mostly serious and emotional with his songs, whereas Donovan is silly with a lot of his songs. But that isn't a bad thing.

    i dont know much about donovan, except for mellow yellow being one groovy song, but i think bob dylan as a whole was one masterpiece of a human being.

    Donovan wrote some great serious songs; how about the Ballad of a Crystal Man or Young Girl Blues, and loads of others? Plus, Dylan could write silly lyrics at times...Quinn the Eskimo and Mr. Tambourine Man, for example?

    Anyway, I guess it's not too important. I still love them both.
