Yes he did. Some reviews say this about Numan: "A progenitor and imaginative practitioner of the Moog synthesizer, Numan employs both a mini-Moog and poly-Moog on Telekon, but unlike most of his contemporaries, Numan advanced his use of the synthesizer beyond mere showy, mindless electronic frippery. (...) The stark delicacy of Please Push No More features nothing more than Numan's robo-vox accompanied by soft Moog lines seeping over a deceptively simple piano arrangement (...)"
And if you want more recent groups: I saw The Prodigy live last year and Moloko even last month, and both were playing a MOOG Prodigy (listen to Moloko's latest single "Forever More" - I could be wrong but isn't that a real MOOG bass !?).

Other "big" bands
Who can forget the likes of Georgio Moroder (Donna Summer and Irine Kara), Emerson, Lake & Palmer and just about every encarnation of Yes.
There should also be some note of some groups best noted for their power balled hitlist: REO Speedwagon's Neal Doughty, TOTO's David Paich & Steve Porcaro and Chicago's Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, James Pankow & Lee Loughnane. All of them, along with David Foster used one Moog synth, or another over the course of the 70's and 80's.

this one goes to Greg... I saw the types of bands you listen to there and wanted to suggest "Motion City Soundtrack" and "The Reunion Show". MCS uses an old MG-1 and The Reunion Show uses a Prodigy (and they do some amazing stuff with it, i might add...). Definitely quality bands for anyone to check out though. You'll thank me later.
