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.

I was just citing it because it is a "does what it says on the tin" in terms of the question the OP asked. Similarly, I'm not a fan of ELP's mangulation of the classical catalogue. In fact, the majority of prog rock hasn't worn well for me.
