    William Shatner speaks rather than sings on just about all his songs (eg. Ideal Woman) with that booming Captain Kirk voice.

    Just saw this for the first time:
    Berry reciting "Pass Away" accompanied by Robbie Robertson.
    Filmed for Hail, Hail, Rock 'n' Roll, but not used at the time.

    Slint's Spiderland is mostly spoken word vocals(some shouting...). Here's an example. Plus some love for a nearby Louisville band. :)
