I felt as though it had to be responded to. from a historical stand point, Dylan brought about a social, cultural and musical revolution with his songs in the 60s. Not everyone is a fan, but there's no denying the impact he's had on music, songwriting especially.
And to who ever said Dylan's live watchtower doesn't compare... which version are you talking about, because he's had MANY MANY versions through the years.
Lastly, on this watchtower note, I can't find where I originally saw the quote, but I remember seeing Dylan say "Watchtower is a Hendrix song... I just wrote it."
Dylan is unreal... he and Paul Simon, in my opinion, are the best song writers of all time.
