Talkboxes: cool guitar effect or the only way a bad guitarist can get a conversation?

I love them, think they improve every song I've heard that features 'em, and they make Peter Frampton listenable for TWO WHOLE MINUTES.

But I'm surprised how few songs feature them. Is that because (unlike, say, a wah pedal) they're tainted by "novelty" status, or is the spectre of appearing influenced by Pete too big a cross to bear?

Don't forget Kickstart My Heart!

...Or the intro to 'Sweet Emotion'.

Some others are...

Bon Jovi "Livin' On a Prayer," "It's My Life" Steelheart "Late for the Party" Southgang "Boyz Nite Out" Scorpions "Media Overkill," "To Be No.1"

Are there any non-hard-rock examples?
