Look into some of the early Deep Purple, they released some stuff with an orchestra and also look into a group called The Electric Prunes, they also had some releases with an orchestra.

This is a great thread. Thanks for everyone's contributions. I'm brewing beer tonight and am checking out various songs on Rhapsody during my breaks. Very enjoyable.

I have to say Zappa. Not really an 'orchestra' but a lot of the orchestra elements on the syn-clavier in a lot of his stuff, very driving high energy.

Blackdog,
Looking for complexity and perhaps a culmination, or at least a recent reflection, of past art rock? Try the album "Dark Passion Play" by Nightwish, or "Nighttime Birds" by The Gathering. You won't regret it

Newer band and definitely not that well known: Elliot Minor
