Complexity can be overrated itself though. I think Neil is so famous because, amidst Psychedelia, hippies, and even the beginning of prog, his music was fairly stripped down, raw, and dissonant. A one note guitar solo just proves that he was doing more with the bare minimum than others were in the same period.

But you're right: though they've both tackled country, folk, and rock around the same period, and are both hailed as songwriters and innovators, their careers are completely distinctive.
