I hate the Internet phrase “and it’s not even close” and I still almost used it here.

The sheer volume of quality lyrics from the man makes him hard to beat in an overall comparison. You may find a song or two or even more from some artist or another (Carrol King comes to mind) but none of them had the staying power Dylan has had.
ETA: Jim Croce was cut short, he was also really good. And I love Gordano Lightfoot but volume still favors Dylan.
