Been doing study stuff of late and had music on in the background, lots of Radiohead and Jeff Buckley in particular. Got me wondering though if there might be any good classical influenced rock music I'm missing out on - I hear the textures and the drama in Jeff Buckley music in particular and the dynamics that are missing in my usual garage rock listening, and the melody and harmony progressions that are more classically inspired rather than the three chord trick. Quite transcendental rather than punching you in the chest.
So, what have you that might fit that bill in similar ways so I don't overdo the Buckley/Radiohead listening?
No cheesy string quartets playing classical music to a rock back track please, don't tend to like prog or metal but if you think I might be surprised then by all means go for it
Thanks

Finns with cellos who started out playing Metallica covers, then expanded their repertoire... if you've never heard heavily distorted cello before, this is probably where to start!

This for example - obviously not classical in form or note-wise, but so melodramatic and expressive with emotion rather than technique and the intensity of that expression builds in a way I like to whilst playing classical piano. Almost completely losing the consciousness of it whilst it crescendos up. Admittedly it helps with Buckley's voice being such an outrageous instrument but I hear a lot of the romantic era soloists in his vocal style albeit with slightly less control for the dramatic effect.
Hopefully that helps explain what I mean! not necessarily classical music played on rock instruments, but the heart and scale of the music being used in different styles
