Need Music Help - Rock Bands That Play With Orchestras?

[smokin5]

Procol Harum did an album with the London Symphony Orchestra
that had some pretty good renditions on it.

You might also like the first King Crimson album (self-titled),
which did not have an orchestra, but relied heavily on a mellotron;
basically recorded orchestral tones at set notes/chords.

Another decent orchestra/band song is ELP, "Pirates", off Works Vol.2.

And yes, I fully agree that Annie Haslam had a great voice.
But they did a 'reunion' tour in 2001 which showed some major
cracks in that otherwise stellar throat. CD entitled In the Land
of the Midnight Sun. Stay away.

Check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "The Show Must Go On". There are many other songs in which Queen worked with an orchestra and symphony, but I think these are the most dramatic.
