jeff buckley, grace (1994)
rock
i would consider jeff buckley's grace to be a classic 90's album. his style compares to the emotion of rufus wainwright or mazzy star but with the rock sensibilies of stone temple pilots. his voice was so unique, seamlessly blending his four-octave tenor range. grace is dark and beautiful, especially the titular track. his cover of leonard cohen's legendary hallelujah is simple yet still lovely. corpus christi carol is haunting and beautiful, punctuated harshly by the hard rock eternal life. seeing as grace was buckley's only full-length studio album, it's truly a masterpiece in its own right. it's been given generous accolades from the likes of bob dylan and david bowie, as well as been placed on countless "greatest albums of all time" lists.
my favorite tracks are grace, last goodbye, lover, you should've come over, and forget her.
