In my secondary school in Holland we had an English teacher who was a Bob Dylan
fan so one way of teaching us English was that we had to translate and discuss
Bob Dylan songs which was great. I have been listening to him for 30 years now
and many back home are fans. However I also grew up with Neil Young (have many
albums) and am a big Bruce fan. Seen all three in concerts at different times
and think each one is unique. Not sure who should therefore be on top, as long
as we can go and see them does it really matter?

I agree Dylan is great to listen to . Neil Young is also great I grew up

Another songwriter who deserves honourable mention - Pete Townshend ?
