I like how Tom Morello used it on the intro of Audioslave's "#1 Zero." I also like the more whacked-out sounds he gets. For instance, he'll hit a note and push the bar down real quick, then let it snap back up 'causing a buzzing sort of sound.

Jeff Beck in general.

Jimi in general.

Tom Morello has this weird solo where he gets up close to his amp for feedback, then uses the whammy bar to change the pitch of the squeal. Probably won't float anyone else's boat, but I like it.
