i couldn't disagree more... unless you're talking dylan circa 1978-1996, because, yeah, he sucked pretty bad for a couple decades. of course pink floyd has experienced a couple of shitty decades, too... particularly when dave gilmour took over... altho i'll give them props for sampling stephen hawking on division bell.
i'm a bit ashamed to say i feel coldly indifferent to both. i have definitely had my phases with each of them, but on whole, i would say their craft relies too much on one really sharp strength.
dylan's words, obviously, are some of the most powerful ever, where floyd's nothing without intense studio production.
I don't mean to diminish those particularly great elements, but i've not been able to dive into either catalog and soak it all up open-mindedly - the way one's expected to with an icon.
in 1979, these shit hits were both published: "gotta serve somebody" "hey you"

i'll take 'bike' over any dylan any day.
really a pretty apples to oranges comparison though. mostly put up the picture to angry up some blood.
don't forget "the gnome"
