neil young gets a lot of flak for his supposedly wavery voice (i think?) but his pitch is fine really - he's just got that kind of whine that puts a lot of people off?

anyone who thinks neil young is anything less than fucking amazing is obviously mentally handicapped

agreed...Neil kicks ass hard like a demon on fire!

Off the top of my head....

Tiny Vipers has a unique voice. I suppose it could be considered an "acquired taste" by some, but I love it. (She starts singing around 1:00)

When Goldfrapp's debut album "Felt Mountain" came out, I was blown away. The synth sounds in it are excellent too and it still gets more play than her later stuff in my collection.

Chris Cornell has a really great, dynamic voice in the modern rock arena.

I don't care what anyone says about The Carpenters, Karen had the most crystal clear and soothing voice I think I've ever heard and she was pretty great behind the kit.

I second Neil Young. Anyone else into his Vocoder album "Trans"?

"Transformer Man"

"Sample and Hold"

Joshua James covers "Green Grass" by Tom Waits. He has kind of a smokey voice that is also emotional, though this song may not show his full range.

Very into it, except I believe someone else sings most of the vocodor part. At least the high one. I'm too lazy to wiki my facts right now.

this threads already bleeding out its arse with youtubes but I just spent ages remembering the name of this song so I could show it

Wow, really?! I hadn't heard that! Wiki doesn't mention it but it does have a few other interesting notes... (though citations are missing)

  Quote

Neil Young found that when using a vocoder when communicating to his son (who was born with cerebral palsy), he was able to elicit a better response.[citation needed] The emotional power of this experiment shows in the lyrics, particularly in the track "Transformer Man" with the lines "So many things still left to do / But we haven't made it yet."[original research?]

 

Neil would affectionately refer to the vocoder as "Sylvia" due to the feminine voice it would emit.[citation needed]

Magma!
