And what about the indie bands with their LOUDHAILERS !! Another great effect !!!
Posh Spice has to take the award for the most effected vocals though

I like vocoders and use them, being an own instrument to make vocals sound like spoken through a synthesizer.
Autotune, however, is a completely different matter, I do not like the classic Cher effect that you seem to hear in a couple of releases, it doesn´t even have retro electronicea charme (when you use Autotune as a hearable effect)

Strangely enough some of the younger vocalists are emulating the Autotune twang when they sing.
They have no or little idea what it is but they hear it and copy it.
It is quite ironic really, incredibly cheap to produce music with an almost "punk rock" type ethic, although no hint or rebellion change or aggression.
I still feel that Moroder`s finest work, was the (at the time) cliche ridden work "Number 1 in Heaven" for Sparks. Syn drum, sequencers, vocoder, the full works but oddly enough, it now sounds current again, the key being, the clever use of real drums.
