Dillinger Four (excellent example)
Mr. Bungle (first two albums at least)

That's interesting, because I absolutely DESPISE vocal samples in music. Using vocal samples feels like cheating. I don't want to hear some regurgitated stuff. It feels unoriginal to me.
I tried listening to Dillinger Four's "Gainsville" and "A Jingle for the Product," and a couple others, and I DO like the songs...just not the vocal samples. Vocal samples feel like plagiarizing to me. If a song were a paper, I'd say, "Don't just quote someone else. Put the idea in your own words."
However, I would say that Dillinger Four uses the vocal samples in a fairly subtle manner. Except, ee-gads, they seem to start practically EVERY SINGLE SONG with a vocal sample!
