Nick Drake?

I know the history of Nick Drake pretty well, his days have been thoroughly documented in biographies and documentaries. I know a lot less about Tim Buckley.

One thing that strikes me, their stories are very similar, and they were contemporaries, passing at about the same age, and within a year of each other. I find similarities in their music as well, although I believe Drake was the superior musician and Buckley more the poet.

Its eerie how many fantastic musicians passed away at age 27, or within a year of 27, as Drake and Buckley did.
