    Are Neil Young and ELO the only rock musicians to release a recording singing vocals through a vocoder?

    That wasn't a vocoder, it was a talk box.

    Not really rock though, are they? Also, see Air.

    Not really rock either, but Jeddy 3's Poem by Grandaddy.

    also most recent examples are using auto-tune rather than vocoder, but there's no need to nitpick.

    Obscure, but a classic:

    A vocoder is typically used as an effect and not as an aid to bring crap singers into tune , ( Cher , Minogue , etc etc etc .... thats a different device altogether ! ) )

    Example of vocoder use is most recently Imogen Heap , Hide and Seek , some more famous examples are Pink floyd on Animals , Alan parsons project , Kraftwerk , etc.

    Theres a big list of artists that have used one halfway down the page on this site.
