should have asked, anyone agree/disagree, ready to join in my admiration?

I'm sure many will. I'm still getting over that you only heard him in August!! Wow... I'm almost jealous. I remember my first listen of 'Grace...'

agreed!

stuff is great

I think Live at Sin-e was in my player for a good solid two months, and Grace has gone in the car stereo yet again this week.

Truly wonderful voice, such a shame he never got a chance to display it for a prolonged period of time.

hallelujah is one of the saddest songs ever for me. buckleys voice has to be the greatest thing since sliced bread i mean, nobodys ever had a voice like that. his album is brilliant, the title track in particular stands out for me along with halleujah.

I love his music, its too bad his not around to make more albums

Jeff Buckley isn`t a genius.

He made a half decent album & died now everybody is wetting themselves over it.

All the best stuff on Grace wasn`t even written by him anyway

^ once again, the musical god has spoken! it is hereby decalred without further question by the all-knowing Urban Hatemonger that Jeff Buckley shall never again be known as a great artist. Anyone who argues otherwise shall be publicly denouced and burnt at the stake!

No it`s called being devils advocate ,thats what people do to create debate.
I don`t doubt he`s a good singer. However I `m mearly raising the point that most of his most famous songs were in fact covers of other artists & there wasn`t nearly this much fuss about him until he died.
