Jeff Buckley is one of my favourite musicians and his only album Grace is an amazing album, full of depth and emotion. Any of fans of him here?

He was an extraordinary talent, and it shows on that album.

People forget he was also an amazing guitarist as well as an amazing vocalist; his chords and melodies are often so outlandish.

If you like Jeff Buckley, you should check out this guy called Max Shire, he's heavily influenced by Jeff and he makes great stuff.

I'll check out Max Shire, I've never heard of him before :) I do agree, Jeff's vocals were amazing as well as his skills as a guitarist. I like his unusual chord combinations and wide octave range.

One of the most influential singers of his time, but I was more a fan of his father's music.

He had an amazing voice. Mojo Pin and So Real are my favourite.

Me too! Well his music anyway :D
Grace is amazing (excuse the pun) but I might like Live at Sin E even more.

I LOVE Jeff Buckley. Voice of an angel. My favorite song of his is "Lover, You Should've Come Over"

I've been listening to Jeff Buckley all day today. Sometimes I will go a while without him, but then jump back in and immerse myself in his beautiful music.

Yes, I can't get enough of his songs on "Grace". I also have burnt copies of "Sketches for My Sweetheart, the Drunk" and "Mystery White Boy" somewhere in my collection.
