The melody in "simple twist of fate" is another Dylan melody that I really enjoy.

Neither of them have ever really stood out to me as a great melody writer. Sure, they were, but what has always stood out to me about their music is emotion and sincerity. Especially when it comes to Neil. Lyrically, bob definitely stand out the most and musically, well it's pretty close. I know Bob isnt responsible for all the music on his albums but nonetheless there is some really great instrumentation in his music. "you're a big girl now" is a great song musically, lyrically and melodically. And Bob wrote the foundation of the song, chords, lyrics and melody. It's a really simple, but great chord progression.
