Unhappy can't you find a more appropriate thread to self-promote your band?

Anyway. I think AIRBAG is very Floydian like, especially with the use of guitars. Very Gilmour esque.
They may fit the bill nicely here.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Well, I think about two bands, unless two albums

* All rights removed, from AIRBAG, specially the last epic Homesick in all his parts, absolutely floydian in the long guitar solo. Simply amazing.

* The sky moves sides way, froom PORCUPINE TREE, speciall the title track, first part.

I found this new solo artist called Ben Howl. He's completely unknown tho.  Tbh he does more david gilmour sort of solos, but is quite like pink floyd. Lament of the string is the best example of this:

I honestly don't think that many bands sound that much like Floyd.....but I do think a lot of Eloy's material does at times....at least it does to me.
Oh...forgot to mention The Future Kings Of England especially the first 2 albums.

Some of Eloy's stuff I'd say is more 'derivative of' than 'influenced by' Pink Floyd (Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, I'm looking at you), but I love it all the same... hell, I think I listen to Eloy more than I do Pink Floyd. I think the Silent Cries/Colours/Planets-era Eloy in particular shows a heavy Pink Floyd influence, with some real strong guitar playing.

I'm really digging this band called Crippled Black Phoenix.
They seem to be influenced by Pink Floyd a lot.
Here's a song called In the Heart of Every Country, off of the album (Mankind) The Crafty Ape.
The bells in the beginning really sounds Pink Floyd-esque to me and the guitar really reminds me of Gilmour's guitar playing Big smile


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