This threads kinda funny really. Apologies to certain people for bumping it I guess.

In response to a previous post (pages back) I think 'amazing' is more than a valid word to describe 'Grace'.

Grace is without a doubt my favourite record. Let down a little by Corpus Christi Carol but as close to a perfect record as I've ever heard.

Ive noticed Jeff Buckley fans can get kind of defensive. I can, I try not to with music because I can't see the point but with Jeff Buckley I cant help it sometimes. However, I have never seen a Buckley fan attempt to force their love down peoples throats and pass it off as absolute, unarguable fact.

I think the guy was such a talented lyricist and songwriter, a greatly underrated guitarist and only surpassed vocally by Robert Plant - and I don't need quotes from Elton John to reinforce that belief.
