8. Back to Black (2006), Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse’s presentation and otherworldly, timeless vocals make her music feel different - not so much an attempt to re-create the past as to honour the music she loved while still being true to the trash-talking, self-effacing millennial she was.

The sound of 'Back to Black' might appeal to retro-soul fans and jazz classicists, but the attitude is closer to rap. Yes, she was funny. But she wasn’t kidding.
