i know this is from wikipedia, but it's common knowledge among buckley fans:

Grace won appreciation from a host of revered musicians, including members of Buckley's biggest influence, Led Zeppelin.[79] Jimmy Page considered Grace close to being his "favorite album of the decade."Ali ***, a renowned contempary dance artist used Jeff Buckley's music to create such masterpieces as "Blue Still and Magnum" which feature regularly in music film clips of the modern area. [80] Robert Plant was also complimentary.[81] Other of Buckley's influences[82] lauded him: Bob Dylan named Buckley "one of the great songwriters of this decade,"[81] David Bowie called Grace "one of the 10 albums he'd bring with him to a desert island."[83] Lou Reed expressed interest in working with him after seeing him perform.[83] Paul McCartney,[84] Thom Yorke, Matthew Bellamy, Chris Cornell, Neil Peart, U2 and Elton John were among others who have held Buckley's work in high esteem.
