Radiohead’s Thom Yorke had a lot to say about John Lennon‘s voice — and so did John himself. Yorke had a nuanced view of John’s “brutal” singing. John said his vocals helped him dominate The Beatles during their early years.
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke said he was a fan of John Lennon’s ‘weirdly brutal’ singing voice
A 2023 article from Rolling Stone features a passage from Jason Thomas Gordon’s forthcoming book The Singers Talk. In it, Yorke was asked to name the singer he’d most like to talk to about their voice. “It would be John Lennon,” he said. “Lennon’s whole attitude to singing, I’m a little bit obsessed with, because, on the surface, he has this whole, raw, doesn’t give a f*** … just the way he sings is weirdly brutal.
“I’d want to talk to him about how he was always so incredibly accurate,...

Radiohead wouldn’t be Radiohead without the eerie falsetto of Thom Yorke, but he didn’t become one of popular music’s most recognizable voices overnight. In an excerpt from Jason Thomas Gordon’s upcoming book The Singers Talk (via Rolling Stone), Yorke discussed how Neil Young and Jeff Buckley helped him hone in on his signature sound, the perks of bringing a chiropractor on tour, and the time he got so stoned he forgot his lyrics onstage.
Despite briefly taking vocal lessons in school, Yorke said he he used to think that his voice was “uncomfortably high or awkward.” Thankfully, that didn’t keep him from sending off a demo tape to a music magazine when he was 18, which earned him a pretty glowing review in response: “‘Who is this guy? He sounds just like Neil Young!’”
“I went, ‘Who’s Neil Young?'” Yorke recalled. “I’d never even heard Neil Young,...
