Comfortably Numb is a great track, and imo shows the best way to use an orchestra on a rock album; to add just a touch of colour or help out with a crescendo, rather like the Beatles usually did. ( Until, because Lennon had lost interest, McCartney was allowed to get away with Long and Winding Road.)
Sorry,Trollheart, but with the exception of Days of Future Passed, I agree with vktr, that rock and rollers and orchestras should keep away from each other. Wait a minute though, there`s Time and a Word, which is a beautiful album, and that Genesis tribute you mention sounds quite intriguing too....
