Cohen is on par with Dylan, but still I prefer Lennon.

Heck, I prefer Lennon too. But Dylan's lyrical genius is undeniable. Compare "Imagine" to something like "Masters of War." Don't get me wrong, I love the Lennon song, naive daydreaming and all, but Dylan is by far a better lyricist.
Frankly, I shake my head that more people fail to see that. I think there's too much judgment being passed on his voice and persona, rather than just focusing on the lyrics, which is what the original question is about.
