Shadow, without question. That album changed my life, as clieche as that might sound.

Shadow. Some of those beats are impossible...

Grace has a few heavy hitters (my favorites being "Last Goodbye" and "Hallelujah", but Entroducing... (pretentious elipse included) seems more like an event than a mere record.

I've got to go with Grace here. The album is absolutely gorgeous is so many ways, and it still gets played often here in BKLYN. I've got to agree that Shadows beats are amazing, but at the same time I don't think we'll hear a voice like Jeff Buckley's again. It still sends shivers down my spine.

a tough one, for sure, but buckley. a case where raw human emotion beats out the sickest beats. I am defintely not happy sending someone home.

Jeff. (Buckley. Not K.)

It would be a SHAME if Entroducing didn't win - DJ Shadow all the way.

Entroducing is pretty tempting. Grace is unforgettable.
Have to go with Jeff.
