Don't forget:
 
MAGMA and Didier Lockwood in the "Hhaï" live album from 75
 
Franck Zappa in the 70's with Jean Luc Ponty (especially the King Kong album) Sugar Caine Harris and Eddie Jobson
 
UK: with Eddie Jobson
 
Allan Holdsworth himself played  some violin in his early albums (I think I.O.U)
 
The french group ATOLL in his 2nd album "L'araignée mal" has some good violin
 
David Rose and his excellent album "Distance between dreams"
 
Darryl way's Wolf group
 
ZAO and Yoshk'o Seffer albums

Well, I know it's only one song, but the violin solo in Losing It (Rush, Signals) is the highlight, and one of the best I've heard. It was by guest Violinist Ben Mink.

Not to forget Magma! What would their first live album be without the great Gidier Lockwood on violin (who was only seventeen years old at the timne of recording)?
And how about some of the live albums of Peter Hammill? "There Goes the Daylight" and "Veracious" both feature Stuart Gordon on violin.

Historic rock passages with Zappa and Jethro Tull 
Don't forget him in the amazing first UK album.
 
The Dixie Dregs have already been mentioned and as it seems the OP is mostly looking for the rock side of things I think they are essential for him to check out. Specially recommended the live BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE and the studio WHAT IF.

Jean-Luc Ponty + Zappa.


I know Fred Firth played violin throughout his time with Henry Cow, but I never liked the timbre of his violin. :(

Exactly!!!! I expected to find his name all over this thread!


Esperanto is also very hard rocking:


and how about Jethro Tull with Eddie Jobson?

Gentle Gant uses a lot of ciolin on theirf albums.
the first album of the German band Aera, "Hand und Fuß", has a lot of violin on it.
Darryl Way's band Wolf is full of violin on all three of their albums.
Clearlight's albums "Vision" and "Le Conte du Singe-Fou" feature Didier Lockwood on violin. their second album "Forever Blowing Bubbles" features David Cross of King Crimson on violin.
Gong's "Shamal" has Jorge Pinchevski on violin in 4 of the 6 tracks.

there is a lot more which just doesn't come to my mind right now; I have to check our collection
