baht&sold Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Not sure if this topic has been done- was listening to Procol Harem on MP3 and it struck me this is a genre unto itself- Rock/pop/or ballads with a symphony or orchestra blend, adds an amazing ingredient- pure passion... A few of my favs are: (Rock) Procol Harem, Conquistador (#1, hands down) Red Ryder, White Hot (live version) Led Zep, Kashmir Gun's n Roses, November Rain (Ballads) INXS, never tear us apart Andrea Bocelli, Time to say goodbye Etta James, at last Got a fav to share?

Spee Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I saw Emerson Lake & Palmer in '77 live with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. That was a pretty awesome show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the little passage of poetry that came after the song, during the closing orchestration on the album: "Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent."

She sings in an opera voice to rock music arranged in an orchestral manner. Stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Mee Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 The 'best' professional marrying of Rock & Orchestra music has long been considered what Frank Zappa did with various symphanies. Zappa was a musical genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lampard10 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Moody Blues - Nights in white satin - the whole album - possibly the first of its kind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You beat me to it. The Moody Blues; Days of Future Passed. Recorded with the London Festival Orchestra. Of course Nights in White Satin, to me one of the gretest songs ever recorded,was the culmination of an incredible sequence of music. And after that the albums somehow got better.
