Spiritualized uses strings a lot in their music. Jason Pierce is really quite good at integrating them into the work and in some pieces making them the focus. Check out "Broken Heart" off of "Ladies and Gentleman..." It's all strings. Amazing. He also uses gospel choirs, blues riffs and other non-rock pieces to make this beautiful hybridized music that is just unbelievable.
Another band really great at integrating orchestral arrangements is the Verve. In their song "History" the strings serve to really flesh out the song and provide a dramatic background for dramatic lyrics.
