If you were asking me who was the better song writer..............I love ya Neil, but Dylan wins that one hands down. He is a true poet and his lyrics can give me goosebumps at times.

But there is a huge difference between "songwriter" and "lyricist".

Dylan's lyrics improve his songwriting skills, but lyrics are just one component of a "song".

I'd probably give Dylan the nod over Young in the lyrics department, but he's not even close to Young in the compositional aspects (imo).

This.

Dylan can write better lyrics, but nothing he puts out musically is on the level of "Cortez the Killer" or "Powderfinger."
