Between him and Dylan IMO. It’s close.

Simon is a true genius.

Absolutely. I think of Dylan and Simon as the Big Two.

This musicologist agrees, though Dylan was and is always much more the lyricist than the composer (hence his deserved Nobel Prize for literature), while Simon's music was often the equal of his lyrics.

I want to add Kris Kristofferson and Carole King to the list.
