yes goddamnit
if youre not using a vocoder you might as well shoot yourself in the face
im still surprised that huge bands like metallica and timbaland dont use vocoders
you cant sound professional without a vocoder

Of course they do! You just don't see them using it or endorsing it openly, but trust me it's there. Just like Zeppelin, Wham!, etc etc... all the biggies!

My bass sound isn't happy unless it has at least 5 of em
of course music can be made without them.....
You can make AWESOME tracks with a small old tape recorder with dodgy old tape.

Depends on how you use them.
I might program some glacial and very digital droning pad in Reason's Subtractor for example (one of it's strenghts to be honest) then sample some insane evolving crazy shit from Reaktor.
Map it in NNXT and Vocode the two against each other and feed through a Multitap REV7000 for example.
Been using the Bitword Wavefront Refill and have been doing this by experimenting with the Experimental Noise Combi's and the Ambient Combi's and vocoding the audio sources in various configurations with pretty superb results actually to be brutally honest.
You can get some great beats using vocoders also and all sorts of wierd raw data rex files vocoded with pads , spoken word samples , field recording and the like.
So yes they can be used as damn expressive sound design tools and not in the bog standard manner most people use them IMHO.

There is no "they have their place as creative sound designing tools" option so NO I haven't voted

It's the law. My doorbell has a 16 band vocoder.

The key is to put more cowbell through your vocoder! Just like Black Sabbath taught us.
