Article: We failed Amy Winehouse (archive.li)

My view on this very feminist piece is that Winehouse wasn't anywhere near as influential or impactful to music and other musicians as Nirvana (which is the article's main point of comparison). Many other musicians and singers have come and gone (both male and female) and are not held in anywhere near the same reverence as Cobain, and that's simply because they had no lasting impact.

As just a casual music listener born in '98, I'm not sure I've ever heard a song by Amy Winehouse. I still hear Nirvana pretty regularly though to date.
