March Music Madness: Bob Marley vs. Bob Dylan

[newtrix1]

They are both icons and legends, so it's sort of cruel to have to choose between them, but if I'm forced to make a choice, it's Dylan by a mile.

I agree, they are both icons and legends within their genres. I don't beleive that there's another singer/songwriter that would have even come close to Dylan (except for Bob Marley). I am quite surprised that Marley is ahead too, I had guessed before posting this match that Dylan would win by a slight margin simply based on how influencial his music, style & lyrics were on music. My comments on his voice were tongue-in-check and don't diminish my respect for his songs & poetry. I also feel that Dylan's quite a bit more versatile a writer.
As has been my m.o. for voting all along, I chose Marley simply because overall, I listen to his stuff more and find a larger percentage of his music to my liking.
