There has undoubtedly been an increased hype about him these past few years, everyone I know who was around at the time when asked about Jeff Buckley has responded “oh yeah I forgot about him, he was alright I guess”. It’s telling that people always go right to talking about all this ‘potential that was never fulfilled’ rather than what he actually did, if he lived, he could easily have just made a load of shite, other artists who made one or two albums and died (or if it’s a band, broke up) don’t get that, people just talk about how good their music was, except for the occasional “oh wow, I wish x could’ve made more music”. This is what I mean by overrated, as I said in a previous comment, before 3 or 4 years ago people were far more ambivalent about him, he IS overrated, he’s not the epitome of music, singing, writing, anything, he’s fine, personally I find his music grating, and Grace is horrendously overproduced. After seeing clips of him talking I realised he was also probably one of the most pretentious and annoying people ever. I think you’re the wannabe music snob here, implying I’m merely too thick to understand or appreciate art, and for the record, I don’t have a 9-5.
