Rolling Stone ranked him the 66th, writing that "by the turn of the century … Yorke's voice had made him one of the most influential singers of his generation…" All these substantiate the fact that Thom Yorke is the voice of modern rock music. He is known for his falsetto, which Paste described as "sweet", "cautious" and "haunting". Rolling Stone described his voice as a "broad, emotive sweep" with a "high, keening sound". The Guardian described it as "instrument-like" and "spectral", and wrote that it "transcends the egocentric posturing of the indie rock singer stereotype". But his voice is not just all sound. His emotive songwriting, his lyrics, his poetry are loaded statements of human rights, animal rights, environmental and anti-war causes.
