Bands be borrowin'.

This is under discussion elsewhere on the interwebs but I thought I'd tap the wisdom of the Poptimist crowd.

You see, I think Winehouse (the songs I've heard) are quite good, but I am kind of bothered that she's *such* the knockoff of an earlier era. I kind of wish she'd put the talent to "better" use. (In other words, better than [i]Swing When You're Winning[/i] only because I like soul better than swing.)
