Kanye West used autotune to great effect in 808s and Heartbreak, one of the seminal albums of this century

Very true about using it to great effect in 808s and Heartbreak! I remember hearing one of those tracks and finding it fairly nice to listen to. Then I heard him live on SNL and his singing voice was close to non-existent.
No-one ever says Cher can't sing, but her 'Believe' song also uses Autotune in a very distinct way.
