PS - in terms of musical ability and talent, Neither Joplin, Morrison or Cobain had anything like the depth of knowledge and understanding that winehouse has demonstrated - Hendrix was the only one who could boast the same type of musical depth.

I love the music of all the 27 club, but an objective non partisan comparison will woark out favourably for Winehouse every time.

I suspect that a bit of rose tinted nostalgic loyalty to our own generation may require us to resist this knowledge, but it remains trues.
