I do really like Donovan - Colors is one of my favourites, so it will make an appearance soon, unless I messed something up? Isn't that track from '64? I'm at work right now - if i've made a mistake, then I'll revise my list when I get home tonight.

And I do love that Nico song - I will always have problems with her voice, but it's a genuinely lovely track and it has a great arrangment too. beats the heck out of Jackson Browne's own version, I think.
