Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zau-okpFssg

Released in 1971 Salisbury by Uriah Heep was always one of my favorite Prog Rock albums and groups.

I recently re-listened to the re-mastered title track on my high end system for the first time. Kind of blew my mind. 16 minutes long.

I concluded that I’ve always enjoyed orchestrated rock, which probalby started with Neal Young’s Harvest.

Any suggestions of other classic rock groups that used orchestration would be appreciated.

Just off the top of my well abused & old as dirt brain I recall:Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin,The Scorpions,White Snake,UFO,ELO,EL&P,The Beatles,The Beach Boys,Deep Purple,Queen,Metallica,Alan Parsons Project,Supertramp,Kansas,Jethro Tull,Rush & Stevie Nicks all using full orchestras at one time or another...I'm sure just about EVERY decent rock band did this as well...
