Atlantis



Donovan released "Atlantis" in November of 1968. It reached number one in Switzerland, but only #7 in the US. This is said to be because it was "too weird for radio" since it was mostly monologue and too long overall. But radio played it due to popular demand, and that's the way it should be.

I've come to appreciate Donovan later in life than back in the sixties. This is certainly no worse than Richard Harris singing (thinking he could sing?) MacArthur Park.
