Best Song on The Best of Jeff Buckley

Including Hallelujah!

Lacking Lilac Wine tho...

Anwyays my vote goes to Lover you should've come over.

mine too

4 extremely strong contenders, all from Grace. i can't decide.

This album looks pretty shoddy to me - 'Grace' plus a bonus disc, with a big sticker saying "Hallelujah!", would've been a nicer thing to give people.

xpost: Think we all agree. There's a couple of these songs tho (like 'Everybody here wants you') which I think are better than many of the songs that are on Grace. But yes, having such a limited catalogue doing Grace with a bonus disc would've the right thing to do.

Is Hallejulah on this album? Because if it isn't...

Lots to choose from, but I'm going with "Grace."

Lover, You Should've Come Over

I thought they did release "Grace" with a bonus disc..

And I have a copy of a CD somewhere with this exact track listing which is definitely not called "The Best Of Jeff Buckley" and I assumed the whole point of the comp was not as a "best of" but more of a "tribute" type thing..

also mojo pin and the smiths cover are live and theres a few acoustic and demo versions.. if this is in fact the same album.

no "your flesh is so nice???"

Lover

mystery white boy is probably a better album, i'm betting

I admit I just don't listen to him anymore. My big Jeff fan days are long over, right or wrong. Doesn't mean I don't love him or admire his talent, though.

I'm going to go with "Lover You Should Have Come Over" as well, simply because it's the one that still comes back into my head sometimes.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

You know, you should have omitted #13 as an option here....

What Will You Say is better than any of these. Also, the Glastonbury set the BBC taped is very good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Okay you guys have me pulling out Buckley. Nice work.

I agree What Will You Say is probably better than any of these, but with that song it's not so much a question of "a better song" as it is "do you want a great big hurricane of a tearjerker about how he felt about his father etc..." I mean really, that song is hard to listen to, as good as it is.

Somehow I didn't realize Vancouver was on this poll. I feel awful that it got no votes. What a riff! What twisty and turny Liz Fraser-ish falsetto parts! I've said it before and I will say it again - his second album was gonna fucking blow the lid off of everything.

Better get down on your fucking knees and believe it

Tiptoe quietly in his brilliance. Shssssh.

go, man, go

thank god, thanks

I'm playing Vancouver again in my fucking iPod, but that is your problem.

oh my god
make it past the banned essence of his free speech, and you're set for life

1. Last Goodbye 2

WAHT?? srsly, WAHT? C'mon ppl. srsly.

"Jewel Box" should be on this. And it should win.

We all fall in love sometimes

I didn't know there was a recorded version of that, I just had an mp3 of him playing it on something called 'The Music Faucet WFMU' which is cut off midway through. I think I preferred it that way, not a big fan of the upbeat ending.

JEWEL BOX YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
HaLLELUJAH PRAISE TO JESUS!

It just kindof depends on whether you want to eat a dick or not

lmao <3

I would like to politely elicit 500 page essays as to why that clip does not do it for you. If Jeff Buckley doesn't do it to you in that clip, you better give up now. Forget it, it's over. You're never going to be a Jeff Buckley fan. Sorry.

“Hallelujah” still his most popular song on spotify but it seems that lately the most listened song is “lover you should’ve come over” so maybe, maybe it will be his legacy song in a few years.

Predicting it will be picked for some popular teen show on netflix and it will happen.

Witches Rave will get its due one day, mark my words

oh god i adore "witches rave"

would've voted for "vancouver" here
