SONGS similar to Pink Floyd - Progressive Rock Music Forum

FAR EAST FAMILY BAND - the song called Kokoro. 9 minutes of Floydian bliss by these Japanese craftsmen.

Perhaps DOM - The Edge Of Time (but it's more Saucerful than mid-Floyd).....
Oh, perhaps the odd HAWKWIND track from around that time-frame too.

Crippled Black Phoenix - The Heart of Every Country

Love this song. Got turned onto Crippled Black Phoenix recently, because I came across this track. Definite Floyd influence.

Also can't wait for the new Steven Wilson album to come out Friday.

Crippled Black Phoenix - The Heart of Every Country
King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
King Crimson - Epitaph
Porcupine Tree - Even Less
Steven Wilson - The Watchmaker
Steven Wilson - First Regret/3 Years Older
Steven Wilson - Ancestral
Steve Hackett - Shadow of the Hierophant

I realise that I'm sort of stretching it for most of these, but not too many bands are similar to Pink Floyd.

Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

That David Gilmour guy has some tunes very reminiscent of Floyd. I think he even toured with Australian Floyd in the 80s and 90s.

Interesting how people start threads then never seem to return to them........at any rate I listened to Eloy-Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes yesterday and that whole album drips with Pink Floyd influence as does many of their albums around that time like Ocean, Dawn ,Power and Passion, etc.

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

You know, whenever I put on a proggy album in front of non-prog fans, they inevitably say, "This sounds like Pink Floyd." Happened two or three times in the past week alone: I put on the BBC Soft Machine 70s collection, sounds like Floyd; I put on a Gong album, sounds like Floyd; I put on a Nucleus (!) albums, sounds like Floyd. When all you know is Floyd, everything sounds like Floyd.

I agree, that's so annoying Wacko

On a similar note, when I tell people I'm into prog rock, they automatically assume that I like Pink Floyd, or they just start talking about them. And I really don't like Floyd much. No one wants to talk Yes or Genesis, or Crimson, or ELP...just Floyd. That is annoying.

Oddly enough, though, I do love bands that are influenced by Pink Floyd. Airbag is one of my favorite bands right now, and I would recommend anything from their catalog. Airbag is like all the good stuff about Floyd - the guitar tone, the mellow, atmospheric style, the addicting melodies - without all the bad stuff, like saxophone, gospel choirs, and cash register sounds.

But, to answer the question: Pulsar! Pulsar DOES sound like Floyd, especially the self-titled LP.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
