Best use of strings?

Hey guys. What bands 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

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.

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