Happy Birthday Jeff Buckley: 10 artists he inspired
From Lana Del Rey to Muse and Radiohead
Lana Del Rey: It stands to reason that the Ultraviolence pop-noir sensation would be drawn to the romance and melodrama of Buckley - not to mention his flawless vocal. "I moved to New York when I was 19 and I've had a love affair with the place ever since," she once said. "That’s when I found Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen - my masters - and I've never really listened to anything else since." She would later add: "Jeff Buckley is another big inspiration... I mean, we talk about these people like we know them. They're a part of our relationship. We always say, 'All of our friends are dead and they never knew us'."

From those who knew him, like Rufus Wainwright and PJ Harvey, to the artists who continued to be touched by his music or have their ambitions raised by his widescreen, adventure in sound, Buckley's influence on music has proven immeasurable.
Here are just 10 of the artists he inspired.
