There's a huge list floating about, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I do know for certain that Wave Goodbye by Chris Cornell, Memphis by P J Harvey and most of the album Distorted Lullabies by the absolutely wonderful band Ours were written about Jeff.

I remember everyone talking about it back in the day and I have a vague memory of Ed mentioning it in an interview. Did a little research... Here's what I came up with

"...an invisible Mississippi, Ganges or a Nile
I feel the quiet river rage
forcin' my lips into a smile...

It was just before he sang these lyrics that Live singer Edward Kowalczyk dedicated the song "Feel the Quiet River Rage" to the late Jeff Buckley in Live's March 2000 concert. It is very possible that this song was written with Buckley in mind - his passing-on occurring as he swam carefree in the Mississippi singing "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. Or, more deeply, perhaps the song refers to the flood of emotion in which one finds one's self swimming while experiencing Buckley's music. Jeff Buckley's voice, Kowalczyk remarked, could make you spontaneously sprout wings and take flight. Any of Buckley's recordings are testament to this - his live performances being at the very pinnacle.
