        . #BobDylan should win awards but with so many fantastic writers out there, this is not his award to win.

        Leonard Cohen is a better wordsmith and more deserving

        absolute rubbish! dylan mimicked 1000s of different voices and stories. Cohen had just one.

        cohen perhaps the better stylist, but nowhere near the range and scope of Dylan's work.
