it's hard to have a definitive ranking of singing ability. lets just be glad he recorded some brilliant stuff. its all about opinion after all anyway.
Thank you Jeff for gracing everyone with your amazing talent and beautiful soul. God got an angel the day you left us.....I hope you know what an iconic music figure you have become. Your a shining diamond.
Rolling Stones list cannot be based on sheer vocal quality; influence/popularity, perhaps, who knows. If it were based on voice, John Lennon and Bob Dylan could NOT be in the top 10 ahead of godly voices like Freddie Mercury's, to name just one. Dylan for instance is an outstanding songwriter, very influential musician, but among top 10 singers? Or even excluding Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald?? Voices of angels, completely left out. Blah fuck 'em and their lousy list
Just shows you, never take one magazine like "Rolling Stone" to rank natural singer to be given a slack listing. Glad there are lot more who disagree, what is more important is that once you've listened to him, you can appreciate his uniqueness.
His death is strange to say the least. In a song largely about death, or death as one of the themes, he writes at the end 'drown my name' which I think is a bit weird. Also if you look at the homage paid to famous people who died young in the film Dr Parnassus, the scene shows 3 small boats with a picture of Diana, James Dean and Rudy Valentino on top floating down a river that has a massive black pyramid at the end. Check it out. Peace.
"and I feel them drowned my name so easy to know and forget with this kiss" He will never be forgotten despite his premature death, I find it so eerie that drowning is included in these lyrics.
@CrazyGerman08 He certainly is an amazing songwriter and a very good singer, but I can't honestly say purely on vocal ability he could match someone like Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke or Elton John, though I think the album he crafted matches up to any of their efforts.
@CrazyGerman08 And yet, they put Bob Dylan at #7. I am sorry, but as influential as Bob Dylan is, he is not a good singer at all and should not be ahead of Jeff Buckley, or even Freddie Mercury (who was in number #18). Jeff Buckley is defintely in my top 15, if not my top 10 or even top 5.
I remember the moment where I heard this track for the 1st time about 15 years ago on MTV........I remember being transfixd to the TV and not believing how incredible this man was. I got a bus straight into the city and bought the CD from the only store that had it in at the time (Tower Records). I have never before or since been so moved by any 1 artist like that. R.I.P. Jeff. We loved you.
Just got back into listening to this amazing artist (had lost 'Grace' years ago in share house). Great to see all the fantastic JB footage on YT....watching his face as he sings is half the experience I feel.
The lyrics of this song never fail to move me, especially in light of his sudden, sad death.
today is his 12th death anniversary. and still, i fall in love with him over and over again evrytime i hear his songs & see his pics.. im still not over him.. u will always be remembered..

it doesnt become gay. what I HOPE you mean. Is that it becomes more popy. You see pop sucks because the media ruined it. Jeff Buckley was part pop. and his didnt suck. you suck for saying its gay. Granted he sings about chicks all the time.
so unbelieable. so little music inspires me like this album has. Grace is simply marvelous, stellar, gorgeous, inteligent to a genious point. and most of all. full of love. so why didnt jeff skyrocket in the music scene? Ignorance maybe? people didn't listen? let's suport our local artists to the max if they amount greatness of taste of such. thank you for reading and understanding. R.I.P. Jeff Buckley! I can´t wait to sing with you in the angelical choirs!!!

@sonicjoydivisonswans "It's only our first album, I don't understand why people have made such a big deal about it."- Jeff Buckley. Too bad he couldn't outdue himself and make a complete second album.
Well I'll add a comment!!!!! Love this song love him love his music and wish he wasnt dead but things happen for a reason but miss you Jeff Buckley even though i never knew him but felt like i did through his music and the connection i had with his music!!!! R.I.P Jeff Buckley
