Between him and Dylan IMO. It’s close.

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.

Good call. But coming from a folk background, one wouldn't expect Dylan's music to be overly complex, while Simon is more of a fusion composer, and it shows in his tunes.
