The frontman claimed Winehouse's music doesn't mean anything, arguing that it wasn't "moving", "inspirational" or "cultural".
"Poor old Amy," Lydon told the Daily Record. "Aimless Winehouse would be a better term.
"I love all kinds of music but the one thing I have never done is imitate black music in her idiotic way."
He continued: "I don't like pale imitations and shades of things and I am always wary when people go jazzy because jazz is the best cover up for a lack of talent the world has ever known. It don't wash real with me."
The veteran punk suggested that Winehouse's drug habits were probably caused by a "guilt trip" about being "fake".
