Classical music used in rock music.....

[poltr1]

In a recent LJ post, athenawindsong mentioned that Lacrymosa, one of the songs on Evanescence's new album, The Open Door, actually uses the music from Mozart's Requiem. (Unfortunately, it's not credited in the liner notes.)

Other bands have used classical music in their songs. Renaissance and Emerson Lake & Palmer come to mind. I'm far from being a classical music expert, so I can't name the music that either band used unless I read the liner notes. That is, if they're even credited.

And Spinal Tap played a version of Boccherini's "Minuet" in the movie.

What other bands/performers have used classical music as part of their compositions?
