rank the songwriter/musician: Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Eric Clapton....also who was best at the guitar?

Answer 1

Bob Dylan is by far a better lyricist than the other two, Lennon coming in second, and Clapton bringing up the rear (which is by no means a loser in this contest!)

Clapton ranks #1 as a guitarist, no question!!

:D

Answer 2

Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan.. did John Lennon even play guitar?

Answer 3

All of them legends.
John Lennon is probably the best songwriter (Everybodyknows the Beatles)
Eric Clapton is the Best Guitarist of the three (Nicknamed 'Slowhand 'since he had to play slow or else he would break the strings) and has done a lot to the music industry. If i'm not mistaken it was him and Hendrix who were the first to experiment with the wah-wah pedals.
Bob Dylan is also great but i think he gets surpassed by John Lennon and Eric Clapton

Answer 4

John Lennon was the best song writer but Clapton wrote a few good ones. Dylan was more of a Bob Marley type. Wrote songs to relate to a movement or people.
Clapton all the way on playing though.

Answer 5

Personally I think Bob Dylan wrote the best songs out of all three. Eric Clapton is excellent on the quitar as well as musician. John Lennon sang alot of ballads & had a great voice. I 've liked everything Bob Dylan ever wrote or sang. All three of these musicians were & are great choices to pick from.
