For me it depends on which decade we're referring to.

If we're talking about the 60's, Bob Dylan... I was never a Yards Birds fan.

If we're talking about latter day recordings of the 70's+, I'd go with Clapton for sure just because I like his music better with all that genius guitar playing.

Bob will always win out as the superior songwriter though.

EDIT: Poll added.

[markupmaster]

I love Bob Dylan so I chose him immediately!

:P

[popcop23]

tnx for the Poll =]

[tiolewis]

Both are great artist.

I will choose bob Dylan

[bigboab]

Dylan by a country mile.:)

[kooftspc11]

bob dylan has admitted in many interviews now that his songs had absolutely no hidden cryptic meaning as many thought in that time...even now.

i think that clapton is overall a better artist and hasnt sold out to cadillac.

clapton=artist
dylan=capitalist

[trevor2000]

Bob is my choice

[C-mos]

What do you mean with Dylan selling out?
On the contrary, Clapton sold out by maintaining a similar style to his work. A one product.
Dylan changed his style completely and this pissed everyone off. Hence Dylan lost on "capital".

As for the "artist" debate, that does not make sense.

[BOOM]

Lol..Bob is awesome, in my opinion!

[popcop23]

Great keep voting!!

I'll be working on the next Poll =]

[Barbarossa]

I can't stand Dylan's voice. I say Clapton. He's good at guitar.

[pimfram]

Tough decision for me. But since I'm from Minnesota I will go with Dylan.

[Qlix]

Bob Dylan.

[Tarniz]

One of the toughest polls ever, i chose Clapton after some minutes of thinking. Can't really tell you why, it's just the way of my heart :)

Both are great artists and musicians. But after watching Crossroads Guitar Festivals from the latest few years a once again fell in love with the way Clapton plays his guitar. Big ups to both men.

[kooftspc11]

the guitar solo towards the end of layla (unplugged) is one of the best pieces ever written

[Pzero]

Dylan. Compared at their peaks of 60s up to mid 70s and parts of the resurgence in the 90s, Dylan ousts Clapton imo, although Clapton has a number of more memorable amazing tracks.

[IdolEyes787]

Eric Clapton is a great guitarist.Bob Dylan however,is a music god.

[Septimus]

Bob Dylan

[soundchaser]

Definitely Eric Clapton. Just listen to his Unplugged album and decide yourself.

edit;
Also his voice (at least to me) worlds better than Dylan. Much more mellow and melodic.

[Ri0T]

Eric Clapton is the better guitarist, Dylan is the better musician.

[Grind$oFine]

Eric Clapton. :wub:

Without hesitation. I can't say I don't appreciate Bob Dylan's place in the music world though. :happy:

[Quarter]

Dylan, absolutely Dylan!
He got such good songs. I like his way of singing and combining other instruments in his songs.

[maged918]

i think clapton's better.. He's better at electric, and his voice is also better.. Not dissing Bob tho

[TheCoolGhoul]

thx

[clocker]

This is a bit apples v. oranges, isn't it?
Dylan is primarily a writer, the music merely a vehicle for the words.
Clapton is a consumate musician who sometimes writes great words.

Since they don't stand on common ground I don't see how they can be compared.

[xpestilencex]

[RedHot]

Absolutely

I love White Room by Cream and Desolation Row by Dylan.

:unsure: Would never have thought of comparing them though
