I forgot all about him but the album with Drunk Driving is Priceless!

Off the beaten path, but I love this album. Portishead, Roseland NYC Live.
They did it with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Way, way, way, different from the Moody Blues, and really most everything else too. Check it out.

I believe you mean the song "Jump Jive & Wail." The phrase "drunk driving" is a mispronunciation of the lyrics. The album is called "The Dirty Boogie." I'm listening to it now. Excellent.

Thank you.

By the way. This thread has awoken some of my older albums for re-listening enjoyment! Thanks for that.

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
