I find it a tad unfair to be judging Richard's comments about Amy's musical strengths/weaknesses according to his age. I'm a bit younger than most on this forum, and if I were to compere Amy to what I would consider to be (very approximately) a more relevant peer group of fellow contemporary female artists, musically she doesn't excite me like Bjork, move me like Grace Sandoval, or impact on me like P.J. Harvey. Talented and skilled Amy was, but just because she doesn't rock everyone's boat in the same way, doesn't mean they are necessarily deaf old gits :)
