Anyone else listen to Tim Buckley?

yes i love him. and you're right, there is never that much said about tim...

I love Tim Buckley! People who don't own the Tim Buckley Anthology should be thrown in jail![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]Goodbye And Hello is one of my favourite albums, with breathtaking songs like Once I Was, Phantasmagoria In Two and I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain... fantastic stuff![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]And let's not forget about Song To The Siren... possibly the most haunting song ever!!![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

Yes, yes, yes! I just finished reading 'Blue Melody - Tim Buckley Remembered'. Excellent book!

I love Song to the siren and Pleasent street,Tim was fantastic!I might check that book out Angela,I've read dream brother and I loved it.

Mmmm... Dream Brother... I found that book impossible to put down![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Reading it at the moment. I find it a bit annoying the way that he changes from Jeff to Tim in alternate chapters.

I love Tim Buckley as well. The anthology is great, although I think that the song selectionis a bit dodgy. Where is "I never asked to be your mountain", for instance?


Dream Letter, live in London, is a real masterpiece. Just can´tbelieve he was merely 21 at the time.

i do agree that everybody that likes jeff should listen to tim if only for comparrison





however although i do think tim was very talented, i find his music a lot harder to listen to than jeff's and not as moving





just my opinion though

The first 3 albums aren't hard to listen to. But an album like Starsailor could well be the most inaccessible album ever made![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

...but once it´ll start to grow on you, it´ll be massive!

I find some of Tim's music almost more moving than Jeff's, though in a different way.

Wayfaring Stranger and Song To The Siren....[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

I also felt that getting into Tim's music took me a bit more time. But it's been very rewarding.

Ahem... Lou Reed, Metal Machine Music

it's not about time though, i've tried hard to listen to his music for months, but it just happens that after a while i have to turn him off (probably after about an hour of listening) which i don't need to do with jeff's. i still like his music though.

Never heard that one but have you heard Starsailor??[img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Of course I like Tim Buckley!! I agree with Rudy that his album Dream letter is a masterpiece. But also his first album en Hello and Goodbye are also special albums.

Yeah, I'm a bit the same in that regard, so I know what you mean.

Hmm.. I can listen to him all day long![img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]
