The Doors are and always will be my favourite band but Dylan writes better lyrics than Morrison. In saying that as basic as the doors lyrics are they are definitely enhanced by Morrison as a performer. Also

Are you retarded? Dylan was friends with Allen Ginsberg and was one of the great Beats of the 60s. Morrison just rambled about his edgy undergrad-level understanding of Nietzsche and Freud, and acted like some kind of genius for it. If you think Morrison is good in any way you're either a woman or a closet fag.

I dunno guys, at home I have a book of poems by Dylan and a book of poem by Morrison. The one by Morrison is far better in my ruminated opinion, but maybe it's just my taste. What I can notice, above all, is that the poems by Dylan look excessively like prose (I never enjoyed that kind of epic long free verse) and the stories are trivial and memey. The poems by Morrison, on the opposite, are deep and introspective, in a style I definitely prefer. Also, again, Morrison didn't write his poems thinking about the music, while Dylan always wrote stuff as a function of guitar and harmonica.

"I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
My killed hands tattooed E.V.I.L.
across it's brother's fist
That filthy five!
They did nothing to challenge or resist
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of His Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away"

how the fuck did bob "stinky jew" dylan beat nick cave?
