I don't think so - Grace Slick's voice gives me goosepimples, yer man's voice gives me zeds. The guy sounds like the lovechild of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaak. IMO, naturally.

Time out. First, just because someone thinks "Pleasant Street" is a 10, doesn't make him/her a numbskull. Sorry, that's just plain ignorant. But what's wrong with The Beatles, Beck, The Church, Flaming Lips, Jimi, LedZep, Modest Mouse, and Wilco? Why don't you both agree to disagree and chill? Oh, BTW, AphidA, stop calling people you don't agree with names.

Do y'all believe these two? I mean, geez, it's just rock'n'roll...

 
It's hard to believe that anyone takes their (or others) opinions that seriously.  Not that anyone should care what I thnk. . . . .

I resent being called a numbskull just because my opinion differs from yours. Pull your head out of your ass and realize that you are not supreme.  Yes, your opinion matters and is valued, but please try to temper your comments to focus on the MUSIC and not the commenters. (Translation:  GROW UP.)

Give it up! This is so fantastically awesome. Esp for the time. Neighbor turned me on to this lp and I was forever a Buckley fan. That was many light years ago.

Great song from a great album.  Buckley had a really good voice and wrote some interesting lyrics.  His music shows a jazz influence too.

As per 'maroubra' ... some songs just reach their "limit" - or are too beyond relevance - and need to be put to rest. They just do. This one, for example. My opinion.

Well-said rocteur. It seems AphidA may be just a little too young to appreciate "Buckley's father."

I think this is one of Grace Slick's better performances. Oh, sorry, Mr. Buckley.

Still a tune I do like, but I certainly can understand how others don't.

Either I'm in a bad mood or Tim Buckley, Finn Bros and Elton John...this combo was the worst sounds I have heard here. It hurt my classically trained ears.

Unpopular viewpoint ahead.......

I like this. It's....uncommon and raw. Not sure I would want a whole album of it, but it's refreshing in an odd but strongly emotional way.

I'm with Jade on this one. I like it.

The way this song builds and falls, rather than creating anticipation and then release with the crescendo, it's more like a threat that his screeching is on it's way... oh gawd, now it's here... ok, it's over now but you know it's comming again...

Jeff Buckley was one of my favorite RP discoveries. This, unfortunately, seems like a bit of an acquired taste. I don't expect to be acquiring it.

Tim Buckley was more known to those with a varied palate. Aside from that I think his son is not as good.

Such a definative guitar sound of the era - reminds me of Quicksilver Messenger Service's John Cippolina & Big Brother and The Holding Co.

Based on his Wikipedia entry, his albums probably never reached my dad in Sioux Falls, SD. Too bad about the overdose - drugs have taken away so many promising artists before they got a big audience.

Since I'm a young'un, my great appreciation for classic rock of all sorts is solely through my dad, so if he didn't like it/never heard it, I wouldn't have been exposed to it.

Pretty good though.


We won't yell at you, although we will tell you that since you haven't heard Tim before that means that you've probably never heard Jeff either (his son). Listen here for him, he was a god with the same incredible range that his dad had. Sadly though, he is gone as well.
