Andy Warhol or Bob Dylan?
If you had to choose.
Me - Andy Warhol.

Bob Dylan.
Love Warhol, but no contest.
I am not gay, but as far as I can judge: They had been both no beauties :-) (But concerning Dylan: I think, his looks have won by aging, whereas Andy has lost and that is his entire body in the coffin.)

Hooters, hooters, on a girl that´s dumb!"

Andreas,
I was not exactly enquiring about their looks, but OK! =)

infinit zero, there is a phrase: "With inner values you can not go to bed."
And I confess, I prefer women, who have both: inner and superficial charmes.
(But I´m not fixed to breasts as the Bundy credo may make to assume.)

Dylan absolutely. If Warhol was really like he was portrayed in Factory Girl I wouldn't have given him the time of day. He was like a zombie -had practically no opinion about anything, shrugged everything off, seemed to be a bit obsessive/compulsive or when it suited him -distant and cold. He seemed to get off on seeing people have fun, but also in seeing them suffer, offering no help. Who needed that?
shareWell, Dylan is pretty stagnant and his music can be dull (he's more a writer of songs than a musician). The oeuvres are incomparable in terms of music, but Warhol produced one of the most influential albums of all time. Velvet Underground & Nico was a flop when it was released in 1967, but it is said that everyone that listened to it formed a band. His works were genius, not because of the technical ability his works required, but the philosophy behind the works. I fell in love with them when I began to understand modern art. He revolutionized modern art, NYC and the way you look at mass culture and art itself. At this moment, he continues to inspire new art like no artist IN HISTORY, and is more relevant to our culture now than Bob Dylan's lyrics are, in my opinion. And his movies? He started movie history all over again with "Empire". He was a complete artist. HE himself was his work of art. He is more interesting and relevant to me than Dylan, who was extremely influent but stayed basically the same for 30-40 years. How do you compare a painter and a musician? It must be a matter of opinion, and this is just my opinion.
Just to balance things out.
