Well I don't know Jeff Buckley by name, so what does that tell ya?
Give us the right key, f#@! sakes...

Jeff Buckley... wow! Yeah, I love him very very much and yes he had a fantastic voice and yes Grace is one of the best albums of all time! (If you have not got it yet: go out and buy the Legacy-3cd/dvd edition of that album NOW!!!)
But although there are some similarities range-wise, there is no way in comparing their voices. Their are totally different and both as unique!

Can someone tell me a little more about Rufus Wainwright?

well, if you dont know jeff buckly by name, then he must be terrible right? anybody who isn't known by name around the world by all, can't possibly have a shred of talent ;)

on the other hand, the first time i heard grace, i was blown away, and i immediately thought, "this is the closest anyone has ever come to approaching the range/emotion/powere of mercury's voice"

Freddie wins!

I think that Freddie is the first. no one has as fantastic voice as him.

Well, I decided to go out and buy Jeff Buckley's Grace album, and boy am I ever disappointed.

It's listenable; not horrible, but not great. It's like elevator music... very little, if anything, stood out to me. He has a pretty nice voice, but for the most part, it just didn't connect with me.

I have to say though, the intro to the first song was beautiful. He sounded very much like Freddie for a little bit (the vibrato and tone were shockingly similar!), but then the song kicked in, and I found the album to be pretty mediocre from that point onward. I turned it off after track 8, and soon relieved myself with the Yes masterpiece "Fragile".

Someone please tell me a couple songs to focus on, and I'll give Jeff another chance. Some of you are speaking pretty highly of him, so I really hope he's worth a second shot.

Hallelujah is the song most people like and know best.
Maybe you should try listening again?
I also quite like the album. Sometimes even elevator music can be good :)
