5 Greatest Singing Voices Of All Time

3. Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke I am not convinced now, nor ever will be--no matter how many bios or certificates of identification may be thrust in front of my nose--that Thom Yorke is actually a member of the human race. The Radiohead vocalist is, I'm fairly certain, an extra-terrestrial. How else could he have such a strange, unnerving, beautiful, honest, contemptuous, heavenly, alien voice? How else could he help craft musical tracks from an odd assortment of memories and sound that catapult the listener through a darkling warp tunnel of one-part exploration and two-parts ecstasy? How else could he think that that's really how you spell Tom and really how you spell York? How else? He's an alien. He's an alien with a voice to kill and die for.

Peter lives in Albuquerque with the three loves of his life: his lady, his cat, and his large library of books. When he's not acting on stage, on film, or writing on his laptop, he can generally be found on the porch with his nose buried in a book and a tall glass of whatever's cold in his hand.
