Something possessed me to watch her Live in London DVD recently and I’m struck by how much lamer everything sounds with ye olde generic R&B backing band.

I look forward to future Ronson-Winehouse combinations for ear candy, though I dread her impending self-destruction or, worse, her setting off on her own again.

She’s no bandleader and, in the auteur-centric world of rock ‘n’ roll which she seems to be working in – as opposed to being a link in the hitmaking chain a la Motown – she might well crash and burn if she doesn’t have someone with brains at the helm.

A shame.

The only real embarrassments are 50 Cent and of course Winehouse.</p> this is actually a pretty good list, miles better than most of the self-conscious indie lists.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if that's where the Time writers got the candidates for their list.</p> The Time album list isn’t noticeably different from all the Best Of blog lists floating around.
