Bob Dylan is the greatest of all time. There is no comparison.
He did make the greatest Christmas album.
Have you read Dylan's "Tarantula"?
No you didn't.
You sod.
I'll listen to and relate to Morrissey's songs way more. Plus I think Dylan is overrated as a lyricist in general. A lot of his songs are nonsense. But every once in awhile Dylan can pull out a beautiful vocal. This may be his prettiest performance
Folks - Dylan writes words, music and plays instruments. He is a songwriter.
Morrissey has never written a song in his life. He is a word writer and a singer.
Who is the best songwriter of the two?
It's a stupid question - Dylan is the only songwriter of the two!
I have and I think his best albums came in the 70's when he stopped trying be Mr Mysterio with his lyricsJust go and listen to all of Dylan's sixties albums before saying things like that.
The combination of the voice and the vocal melody isn't a song. It's just the vocal part. Morrissey hasn't even listed on songwriting credit by himself. He can't. Johnny did when he was in the Smiths.Well this isn't true. The song part is the voice and the vocal melody. Morrissey does both of those so he is a song writer. Johnny Marr (when he was in the Smiths) wasn't a songwriter, only when Morrissey added his vocal did what Marr offered actually become a song.

Bob Dylan's influence on John Lennon is unbelievable. It lasted for all of John Lennon's life after hearing The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, while The Beatles were in France.
Lennon mentions Dylan and "Mr Jones" in The Beatles' track, Yer Blues.
Lennon mentions Dylan/Zimmerman in his solo track, God.
Take a look at the cover for Dylan's The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and compare the similarities with The Beatles' Abbey Road Cover. There are four similarities:
1 - Dylan is walking down the center of the road - The Beatles are walking across the road.
2 - The vehicle on the left of both covers is a Volkswagon.
3 - Lennon has his hands in his pockets just like Dylan.
4 - Lennon's left leg is forward. Just like Dylan's.
Also, Abbey Road features the track, I Want You (She's so heavy). Compare that track with Dylan's I Want You which is on Blonde on Blonde.
Dylan's North Country Blues - From the very first note; if you haven't heard this track before, you'll instantly think of Lennon's Working Class Hero.
