You contradict yourself too much for me to consider your opinion here. 3 songs does not make an album "decent", i happen to think 90% of Grace is above decent - and that voice, it is impossible to overrate that voice.

i think i read it somewhere that it was 7 octaves...the album is quite eclectic, almost prog rock at certain points...some reviewer on amazon said it was too depressing to listen...i can't say i see it as depressing....at all actually....just beautiful..
damn shame the man died...

Mariah Carey has 5. The average singer has 1- 2.5 octaves.

EDIT: His father Tim had 7. Googled it and opinions vary.

Still... an incredible singer. Marijan didn't I send you some of his stuff once?

Jeff Buckley is cool! Though some people do go on about him.(you get that when you're dead) Grace was amazing. half of sketches was great too.
He just doesn't have enough albums to be a "music legend" and I don't suppose he ever will.

He's a guy who I can "take", but I don't think he would have this mythical status if he didn't die so young

I agree. I've listened to "Grace" quite a few times, and it is good, but not nearly as good as everyone makes it out to me.
