It did for Nirvana (no disrespect for the other albums, but Nevermind was their one "wow" album).

It's not about how many albums. It's about impressions left and how deeply she affected people. And she made TWO classic albums that were successful so get it straight.

You seem to have a very weird hate obsession with celebs who are always in the media. Weird because you seem to follow their every move... then question why the media does!

Norway story.

Amy story.

They are different. No comparison can be made other than the fact that deaths occurred.

Obviously it's sad both have died, but seriously people (facebook,twitter etc.) need to stop comparing. It is by no means the same.

Not to piss on the parade but she is in no way going to come close to the type of life beyond death legacies enjoyed by the likes of Cobain and Tupac Shakur. She grew as a celebrity in an age of ADHD inflicted media and her one global phenomenon isin't about to make her into mug and mousepad pop art quite yet.

Best one I've seen. From my Facebook

Funny thing is, Amy Winehouse will get a 10 page tribute of how great she was in the papers tomorrow, and you'll see in a few weeks time a small column of how a troop died serving our country. You'll also see more on Amy then there was about the kids in Oslo that died. RIP to the kids in Oslo, **** Amy Winehouse.

She was good and that but she wasn't a legend or an icon I wouldn't say. People are only saying this cos she's dead.

People are fickle

well Ive always considered her a legend and icon.

And its a status thats awarded an artist usually by pure momentum and general amount of media attention.

Amy has critical acclaim in abundance and is instantly recognisable worldwide. She has been one of the most written about music celebs of the past 5 years...albeit mostly for the wrong reasons.

So she absolutely will become a music legend and iconic figure. Her music will now go on to sell many millions more and cement that status. Her legend will grow like it usually does with dead superstars.

Its not about whether you or anybody else thinks she's worthy. There are many actors and musicians who only have a very small body of memorable work but are still given iconic status.

Ultimately it comes down to fame and critical approval. Amy had both on a massive scale.

Nonesense. When her first album was released a lot of critics applauded it as a classic work and one of the finest albums in a long time.

She will always be better known as a tortured artist and - yes - a druggie. But she leaves a few songs of amazing quality, sung with utter conviction. She was the real thing.

And the legacy she leaves is considerable. She opened the door for artists like Adele and Duffy.

Point made. A few songs. One good album. I honestly do not get this faux grief thing that's going on all over the place.

The only real thing she was, I am afraid to say: is a perfect example of how not to try to live your life. Harsh? Yes. Truthful? Absolutely.

Quality over Quantity, there's a fair few musicians who are considered legends that only had 2 or 3 albums.

The only reason anyone compared the two was because of arista moaning that the BBC were covering Norway which wasn't as important as Amy Winehouses death, it's not like people were saying "fuck her, more people died in Oslo"
