This guy released one of the greatest albums ever then passed away before the second one was finished. He should definitely be considered.

Jeff was probably one of the most influential highly respected artists of his time. He's still considered as a great artist. I really hope he's inducted in the near future. I know many would be grateful.

Jeff was the greatest singer of his generation and should really be in the hall of fame

He's dead = he's in.

Heard him once, was totally nonplussed. Not even remotely worthy of consideration. Got to do a bit more than one album and drown, sorry.

This mere man has the voice of an angel, rated by Led Zep and 10 years after his death is still revered for his talent and his eternal GRACE!

Get over the whole 'drowning' thing. It has absolutely nothing to do with his music.

you heard Jeff and you were nonplussed??????? oh I know: you are deaf. That explains it.

Jeff's talent was almost not-of-this-world. He would have been blowing everyone out of the water, had he had the chance to grow even further as a person and as a musician.

This guys was a genious. His music influences many artists nowadays. He deserves the honour to be part of the rock 'n' roll hall of fame.

Jeff was the most soulful musician that ever existed in my opinion. No one's voice can even come close to his. His guitar playing was absolutely incredible but so under-rated. I guess when you have a voice like that, some things get over looked.
Grace is the most amazing thing you can do with your ears.
Jeff was truly a once in a life time artist. He was such a gift to the world but he was taken way too soon. It's really unfair. But what he left us with something extremely precious and intangible.

no one can sing, play guitar and write like the late jeff buckley. i would be agreeing with all of his musical peers, past such as led zep, and present from U2, chris cornell, incubus, chrissie hynde and many others in saying, there is no-one else that is more deservly.

One word to back-up all my points...

"GRACE"

One album true, but there have been soooo many artists today that still cite him as an influence for their work.

He may not get in his first year eligible but YES he deserves to be in the Rock Hall. His death blunted future brilliance.

Jeff Buckley...
Is an Ikon, his career was not long but he touched every soul and heart that listened to him. When Jeff sings Hallelujah it´s magical and tears well up in your eys... He should be in the rockhall forever just for singing Hallelujah ...Belive me this is the best song ever done...Jeff Buckley did it imortal!

A great talent definitely, but his limited output will damper his induction chances considerably. Nevertheless, you can feel his repercussions to this very day. "Grace" gets better with each passing year and his rendition of "Hallelujah" is by far the greatest, IMO.

Record one album that gets good reviews, drown and you go into the Hall? I think not. I've heard some of his recordings, sounded like everything else. NOT deserving, sorry.

Posted by Jeff on Wednesday, 02.18.09 @ 07:56am

no disrespect to the man, his album was great. But one needs to ask themselves two questions:
How much of an impact did he really have on rock? did he change the music or seriously affected music to the point where he should be considered?
Also, for bands such as rush or others that have spent years upon years building up influence and albums, while Jeff only released one album, does Jeff really deserve to be inducted? What if this one album was a fluke, what if his following albums were not so powerful? Alotta unanswered questions that, I believe, will keep him outta the rnr hall of fame. Best of luck to him though, great album and great man.

Posted by damien on Thursday, 06.4.09 @ 21:46pm

His influence and importance on other artists is so great that the fact that he only released one real album won't matter. Look at the Sex Pistols...

Posted by Kyle on Wednesday, 10.28.09 @ 23:50pm

He DOES deserve, so shut up all of you. He did not sound "like everyone else" by any, any means at all! He was an angel with the voice of heaven and a incredible musical gift which shone through his skills on guitar and poetic lyrics. And he was a real visionary and intellectual artist with a way of music and words like nobody else!!!

It does not matter though... He will not ever be forgoten...And the hall of fame, with the trash in the hall of fame now, would be a scar on his memory. On the memories he left the world, he was an angel. He's better off not being in that thing. LOVE ALWAYS FOR JB, FROM GERMANY

Talent has often been described as a gift from god and when one listens to Jeff Buckley the meaning of that description is epiphanically realized. His voice alone could probably make a believer out of anyone; but, that it was so soulfully, sensitively wrought (one feels him actually LIVING through the music) that there can be no doubt. That is why so many continue to be inspired by the little that he was able to leave us.
So, yes, he well deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He was a rare and timeless gift who became ever influential.
But, just as Ingrid said, "It does not matter though.. He will not ever be forgoten..."

Posted by Carolyn Nelson on Wednesday, 03.10.10 @ 22:17pm

Yes, he should! And will!
Looking forward to that day in NY 2020!!
Peace, Love & Jeff Buckley~

Jeff was a legend at the time he lived and is even more so now. The drowing aside, he is far more than worthy for induction. His vocal breadth and range and the pure soul that just spilled from his throat was what most people imagine angels sounding like. He was a fantastic guitarist, songwriter and poet and he put every single shred of his being into his art. He has influenced a generation and will continue on doing so forever.
