I love Jeff Buckley, but all my favourite songs of his are on Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. Such a shame he died after only one album, I wonder how he would have shaped the music world had he lived (kind of feel the same about Elliott Smith tbh)

SfmStD songs I recommend:

  • The Sky is a Landfill
  • Nightmares by the Sea
  • Yard of Blond Girls
  • Vancouver
  • Morning Theft (my fav)

From Grace, I really love Eternal Life, Lover You Should Have Come Over, and Last Goodbye (Hallelujah is a classic of his though, he just does that cover so fucking amazingly).

    I'm ashamed to admit it but I haven't listened to that album. I don't even know why. Grace was just perfect.

    Will suss it out tonight.

    Agreed about Elliot Smith. I have soft spot for him.

    My fave songs on Grace are Mojo Pin and lover you should have come over. The Cohen cover is fucking amazing, I just listened to it so much and burned it out lol

    I don't know if you've heard of Myles Kennedy but Jeff Buckley's guitar was loaned to him for this performance, and it was the first time it had been played since his death. I love Myles and it's one of those performances where I wish I could've been there.

    He does a lot of hard rock heavy metal stuff in the band Alter Bridge, but he's also known for being the vocalist who tours and records with Slash. He was a guitar teacher when he was younger and his solo albums are chefs kiss to me. He's also known for being Thor in that movie with Mark Wahlberg (rock star I think🀣)

    I know of alter bridge. I thought they were an offshoot of creed.

    As an aside, marky mark has 1 good movie. It's the one with the rock and they're personal trainers.

    He's a piece of shit. But that movie is hilarious lol

    The drummer, bass player and guitarist are all from creed iirc, Myles Kennedy is the only one who wasn't.

    Edit: Pain and Gain, sounds like a pisser of a movie 🀣I'll give it a watch soon I reckon!

    Ooooo get on it lol my friend in HS burnt me a copy of Sketches and Grace, and I've loved them ever since. Sketches is so goooood!!

    XO is my fav Elliott Smith album, Waltz #2 is perfect and still gets stuck in my head, but all his songs on there are great it's hard to name one from that album that's my fav.

    I've stayed away from Elliot Smith the last couple of years, but it might be time to have another listen.

    You know, Grace changed the entire course of my music life. In high school I was a full on metal head that only listened to metal. Then a friend of mine asked me to listen to it. I saw the cover and was like "the fuck is soft cock shit".

    So fucking glad I actually gave it a listen lol
