    I only knew him by name but didn't know his music. I've always read very positive things about him so somehow I had the feeling that he might be a bit overrated. Well, the other day I was at a mate's and heard this real crap music. Apparently, my mate had put on a Jeff Buckley CD. Man, it was horrible. I know that it's all a matter of taste of course, but honestly, I can't understand that there's even one human on this planet who like Jeff Buckley's music.

    I love Jeff Buckley's music :)

    but I agree that Jeff is (like every other dead artist of the 90's except for Shannon Hoon) a bit overrated ,though Grace was really a great album and "Last Goodbye" and "Lover You Should Have Come Over" are perfect songs in my opinion.

    and I also like Tim...the first two albums anyways :p

    *nods*he's not constantly on the radio or anything...i ment overrated in the way that reviewers/critics often refer to Jeff when they need to label a singer, happened to Radiohead,Muse,Haven,Starsailor and even the White Stripes :confused:

    Ohh how i love Jeff' music, and i don't think he's overrated at all.

    There are so many people who still don't know or have any idea who or what he is.
    (musical genius:rolleyes: )
    And on the other side that's quite beautiful as well..his live in chicago dvd is amazing i've played it till death, and there's no way i can ever get sick of his music.

    yeah I think his music is just stunning.
    His voice was beautiful, he was melodic and poetic.

    jeff's not as bad as you say, I've got practically everything ever released, I love the live in chicago dvd as well...well he didn't write much and there's rarely anything new I hear from him but I loved all the covers he did most of all. I mean bob dylan, nusrat fateh ali khan, edith piaf, van morrison, leonard cohen, judy garland, nina simone, hank williams, he just covered such a variety of artists it's apparent without knowing much about him that he was a genuine lover of music

    I second that tim buckley was better (though I used to like jeff more)

    I love Jeff Buckley and I'm not a chick. He has quite possibly the greatest voice of all time.
