Grace is a truly brilliant album that for some reason I didn't know about until a few years ago. It makes you wonder why it isn't more widely known. Another singer/songwriter type that you might like, who like Jeff Buckley is great but not as widely known is Elliot Smith (the albums Figure 8 or XO). His stuff's slightly more down to earth, and I can't comment as much on the production aspects (I'm no audiophile), but his songs are amazingly well-written and varied.
His father Tim Buckley has some pretty avant garde albums (like Starsailor) from the 60's that are at least interesting to hear a few times--although not a timeless classic like Grace.
