Rock with strings

Good day fellow musicheads! This goes against my inner rock child, but as I age (gasp), I find myself digging rock/pop string section Lps. Moody Blues made the definitive expression with Future days and the Zombies Odyssey is amazing. This seems a predominantly British genre, and at times very pretentious (haha), but one has to applaud the ambition. Any other suggestion? Also, I'm pretty content with the sacd version of Future Days, but curious to see what others have. Safe and happy upcoming Turkey Day to all. And...go Lions!

Phasecorrect,
Don't apologize to Tull fans, it's your loss. Jethro Tull made a lot of great music.

This is not rock but neo-classical. Might be interesting to some.
Yngwie Malmsteen with New Japan Philarmonic. Great music, bad recording. Actually, youtube sounds better than cd. I think, this is his best album, at least to my taste, and the orchestra is excellent too. Lots of strings, and other instruments.

The first Spirit LP had some nice moments with strings.

"Could be worse. Rock + flute..."

As a longtime Jethro Tull fan, I'm not offended-just puzzled! Also a fan of some of the Marshall Tucker Band music. As Roxy54 said, "Don't apologize...it's your loss."
