You can't compare songwriting directly to poetry - it has to work with the music. But it is nevertheless a valid form of literature. It uses words - it has a message.
The thing about Dylan isn't his lyrics per se - there are more poetic songwriters. The thing about Dylan is he influenced a whole generation. His influence was massive, and around the globe as well as in the USA. He was truly a figure of his time. You could compare him with Solzhenitsyn, for instance, as a spokesman for a historically important epoch. That's enough for me.
