The Best Orchestra Rock Performances on YouTube

I made it my mission to find the best orchestra rock cover versions of classic rock and pop songs. Symphonies tend to be boring affairs, but I love how orchestral rock brings out the beauty and unique angles of songs that I've heard so many times. Below you'll find amazing symphonic rock cover versions of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Europe, ABBA, Eric Clapton, and REM performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and more!
