Gorillaz owe their sound to the Omnichord

I love how Zane Lowe unintentionally added to the loop with a Gorillaz-style vocal sample.

I thought that sounded like a drum machine. It turns out, it's mostly, because it was.
Nice find, I never knew this for certain.

Steven Universe's early music also relies heavily on the Omnichord.

I remember electronica noise band Add N to (X) using one in their live shows (along with whatever electronic junk they could scavenge, it looked like they had patch panels on guitar straps). TBH I'm not sure if they had an actual tour van or just raided skips near Radioshacks.
Here's a clip - you can see what looks like an OM-100 at 9 1/2 minutes in on... Robot New York I think? It's all stuff off their Avant Hard album anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9mM_ynzOtU
They were very entertaining live but I'm glad there's footage of them without the dodgy films they projected on the side wall on that tour.

Exactly.
The fantastic song "Plug Me In" was a double entendre with a very NSFW video. A quick search shows that it's sadly lost to the modern internet.
Great band!

Indeed! Daniel Lanois, musician and grammy award winning producer (U2, Neville Brothers, Emmylou Harris, etc.) uses the Omnichord extensively in his own music. He used it throughout the soundtrack for Slingblade. He even named one of the songs, Omni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7HME3-TROg
And it's a big part of his song, The Maker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-JtAcpKtYQ

He also did much of the soundtrack for Red Dead Redemption 2 I believe

Definitely! I was listening to some Omnichord demo videos and then I recognized it in one of my favorite My Morning Jacket tracks. Very distinct intro, and I'm pretty sure he's rocking the Rock1 Preset here too:
