He has also recorded as a solo artist; he released his debut album, The Eraser, in July 2006. Yorke mainly plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar and piano, but he has also played drums and bass guitar (notably during the Kid A and Amnesiac Radiohead sessions). Yorke is also an electronic musician; The Eraser was heavily influenced by electronic music. He has been known to be a recluse, like rejecting to talk to Kanye West, Jack Black, and Miley Cyrus. While the 1997 release of their best-selling album OK Computer, he fell into a deep depression as shown in their documentary Meeting People is Easy. He was rated the 66th greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone, and the 18th greatest singer on Blender and MTV2's list. He has had a partnership with Rachel Owen and they have two children, Noah, born in 2001, and Agnes, born in 2004. He has a paralyzed left eye because of botched surgeries. He was teased about this in elementary school and became an outcast until he met future band members of Radiohead. They first formed as On A Friday. He stated that he has been heavily influenced by the Pixies and Brian May of Queen.
