God I love Buckley, mind you there's only three other people I know that know him.
One doesn't like him... The other is the manager at my local CD shop, who gave me mad props for buying Grace... And finally my best friend knows him, but she's only heard Hallelujah from the OC, guess what she's getting for her birthday...
Currently listening to So Real as we type.
Side note: MCMGM, Do you have the version of All Flowers In Time Jeff did with Elizabeth Fraser? Just amazing.

So Real and Lover, You Should've Come Over are easily my favs.

I wrote a ten page paper for a graduate class analyzing his music and the role his musical influences played in his compositional and performing styles. So, yeah, I guess that makes me a fan.

I have a habit of falling for voices that are attached to people who don't say on this earth long. (Jeff, Layne Staley, Shannon Hoon, etc). It's a bit depressing. *exhales* Here's a video a college student put together using Lover, Should've Come Over. I thought it was really good: youtube.com/watch?v=qRcMuKWP8Fw

I've been a huge Jeff Buckley fan since I was 14. I'm, well, I'm almost 28 now.
At my former job, I wore a Jeff t-shirt on casual day. I hadn't done the laundry in ages and it was either that or my Johnny The Homicidal Maniac shirt. I had worked with substance abusers at the time, so I figured the Jeff shirt might be the better choice. Anyhow, this skinny little vegan guy I worked with was all "Jeff Buckley is the best singer ever!" when he saw my shirt. He was pretty funny.
He doesn't really fit in with my other musical choices. As I've gotten more into Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Laibach, Combichrist and stuff like that over the years. But, his music is too darn good to dislike, I think.

Just get that printer paper that transfer to shirts, get a t shirt of your choice (You can go to Michaels' or use one of your own) and print, cut and iron on. You can do that with letters as well. It's fun and cheap. I made a Glen Graham (drummer from Blind Melon) t shirt for under 5 bucks.

I was thinking about doing that at some point, I got a Kids In The Hall shirt made at a local place here where I go to school.
My friend though from Windsor, the one I mentioned earlier, has made me a couple of tees, both of them my favourite shirts of all-time. And one of them is wrestling related, but isn't in my hands yet. Two words for you...Alexander Shelley.

Last thing I made was a Bill Hicks shirt for Travis Warren (New singer for Blind Melon. Ex 00-Metro, Rain Fur Rent and Killwatt singer).

Grace is easily one of my fav albums. I just love the way how every song on the record works whether its a rock song (Grace, Eternal Life) or a softer song (Hallelujah, Corpus Christi Carol). Its near perfect.
Grace is by far my favourite song, the ending of that song must be one of the most enjoyable pieces of music ive heard. Ever.

Every song sounds different, but it all meshes together perfectly. It's rare to see that.

The 'Live from Sin-E' album is one of my favorites.

Astonishing talent. Not just a great vocalist, but a hell of a guitarist too.

'Last Goodbye' is one of the greatest and saddest songs ever written.
