In the next few days I will fill you in on 10 artists and/ or songs and / or albums that I've been grooving to lately and that you absolutely, definitely need to listen to and give a chance.
1. Amy Winehouse (artist) Back to Black (album) - Now I know you may not like the first single "Rehab", in fact I was a little hesitant of it myself, but please don't let it hinder you from hearing the rest of this amazing album. Amy Winehouse is a great throwback bluesy soul singer who makes you re-appreciate everything you love about Motown. What is so brilliant about this album and Amy herself is that she delivers each song with this punk rock attitude and sensibility that not only builds upon the doo-wop genre of the 60s, but makes you realize that a lot of this material and sentiment was probably there all along. It's just that it was either so heavily sensored to be recognized or you were just to unhip to know what they were talking about. It's kinda like if Ray Charles had sung about all the seedy stuff that was really going on in his life (heroin addiction, affairs, etc.).

okay i'm gonna have to whole-heartedly disagree here. in fact, you have lost a tiny bit of respect from me. wino is nothing more than a trashy wannabe hack. do me a favor and NEVER use the words "punk rock" again in describing her. yuck.
