Not true at all. Neil has a lot of shitty music. Dylan has a lot more shitty music, but he has written more good songs than Young has written total. Dylan's influence on music is eternal and worldwide.
They both played on The Last Waltz, and I think Young's performance was superior to Dylans.
And while Dylan was a Wilbury (which personally, i enjoy the band), Young was producing garbage like "Trans."
They both have made amazing music and have made amazingly bad music. The good outnumbers and outweighs the bad with both musicians. I would say that Neil Young is more consistent; however, Dylan has not only written and produced (or otherwise contributed to) nearly twice as many songs as Young, and something should be said for that alone.
Bob Dylan has worked with almost every amazing musician of his era. He also got the Beatles high for the first time (or so rumor has it).
It's a tough call, for me at least, but I gotta go with Dylan. Neil Young is the better musician though.
