Best use of strings?

[xMuscleMilkx]

Hey guys. What banRAB do you think make the best use of strings and piano as backing instruments? Here's my picks:

Avenged Sevenfold
Dream Theater
I Am Ghost
Lostprophets
Funeral For A Friend

 

[Forever under 5 ft]

Lost Prophets? Are you sure?

Try:

Opeth
Riverside

Hell, even try stuff like Lacuna Coil.

Good band from the one album I have called Curse Your Little Heart. I would never have thought of them as a Rock band though.

 

[Alex Don Leis]

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

 

[bdkkevin02]

1. Dream Theater
2. Electric Light Orchestra
3. The Beatles

 

[Mrs. Taylor Lautner]

Therion and Opeth spring to mind instantly

 

[Mrs. Ashley♥]

Neil Young on Harvest, man.

 

[Jay Moore]

[Reyna M]

Dream Theater does do it rather well....

 

[Footprints in the Sand]

agalloch.

 

[♥Socially Awkward♥]

Completely agree with DevotchKa. I would also like to add Apocalyptica, Nightwish and Sonata Arctica.

Yep I'd have to say Dream Theater.
