You're comparing apples and oranges (Beatles being Apples of course). 
You can't compare 2 types of music.  How can you compare folk to rock 
(or power pop)?  Can you compare Dylan to Mozart, for example?  And 
if you can't STAND folksy vocals, you won't care at all for Dylan.  I 
enjoy it when other bands cover Dylan's best songs (the Wanderers 
with Stiv Bators doing a rocking version of The Times They Are A 
Changin), but I can't listening to Dylan doing any of his songs.
