Best use of violins in non-classical music

I like Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Ocean Rain' album for its strings, especially The Killing Moon. The cello on the Nirvana unplugged album sounds great - the version of Dumb is excellent.

Violin just fits right in so well...

Ye he arranges them. Very few bands can do it on their own without outside help

Pallett's a busy lad, he's arranged for an awful lot of bands. He was the best thing about many of their albums, too - Last Shadow Puppets, I'm looking at you.

I have a sneaking suspicion his own next album is going to be one of the best of next year, too. He's also let it be known that he's just finished work on Arcade Fire's third one, but alas, he doesn't play onstage with them anymore except on very special occasions.
