Pink Moon is better than any guitar work i've heard by Paul Simon. Paul Simon is a fairly average acoustic guitar player, there are plenty of people aside from Drake that destroy him. John Fahey for instance.
Bob Dylan is widely considered the best songwriter ever, overrated? Yes, but in alot of cases someone being overrated means theres a certain truth to what they're overrated for. Do I hate Jimmy Page? Yes, I can't stand Zeppelin. Do I honestly think hes a bad guitar player? Not at all. Same goes for Bob Dylan, though I like him alot. Once I see Paul Simon write a Visions of Johanna or Idiot Wind i'll place him on the same level as Dylan, but until then he can just stay a decent lyricist and thats it.
