I believe Matt Bellamy, the lead singer/guitarist of Muse, uses a flanger for his voice in their song Space Dementia at some points.

OK, I still think it's one of the items I mentioned. You could try a filter modeling unit like Line6, or one of those Boss "Groove Boxes" with filter modeling. If you don't want to get in that deep, try a parametric EQ (one with full control over frequency, bandwidth, and cut/boost per band) or a wah pedal.
what's a good pitch shifter for vocals? i'm really into some of the bands that utilize pitch shifted vocals on their recordings, such as regurgitate, and despite the lack of clarity, it just sounds so deep.

Freaky! Just as I read that post, "Who Are You" came on the radio, then I switched tabs to read the local newspaper online, and there's a big picture of Roger Daltry pointing a microphone at the camera! It was an article about The Who closing Glastonbury last night!

Not on vocals, but Sonic Youth put a microphone through a wah pedal and recorded a pneumatic drill through it.
Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers is pretty famous for doing this. For around half of his tracks he either sang through a loudspeaker into the mic or used "Gibbytronix" which was some pitch shifter he bought at a garage sale or something like that. I personally love it 
The song escapes me right now, but if you watch The Dub-Room special you notice it.
