Here are a bunch of monster tracks that (intentionally or not) seem mightly indebted to Pink Floyd. (The exceptions would be Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross," which had a huge influence on Gilmour's spacey, bluesy solo style, and Dylan's original version of "Masters of War.") I could only list 25, or else I might have added yet more tracks.
On a second note, which track(s) do you think should be on this list? :-) Cheers!

I was going to suggest anything by Eloy, some Gong tracks... Who was that band some years back tagged as "the new floyd"?

My favorite out of this list is "Nimrodel", but Poseidon's Creation comes close.

Voted for Nimrodel, but I didn't see Starless there at first, otherwise I would have voted for that.
Honorable mention for the AParsonProject's "Time", such a pretty song it is. |

I love that Tangerine Dream track on the list. I suppose the lushness of it is a bit like Floyd in some respects.Soaring guitar was a bit unusual at that time for TD.The drummer is much better than dear ole Nick though!

Starless is one of my favourite tracks of all time, of course, but I'm giving my vote to my beloved Sigur Ros - spread the love for this band!

Eloy wins this for me.
But I have found another track which fints perfectly on this list: a Meddle-era Pink Floyd atmosphere with vocals which are somehow strongly reminiscent of David Gilmour:
The Queensr˙che and PT tracks are also rather floydish. Silent Lucidity has a strong Roger Waters-feel.

Ocean Cloud, very Floydian. Starless is in no way Floydian IMO.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

"Silent Lucidity" seems like an intentional ripoff of "Comfortably Numb."

Let's kill this "Mostly Autumn are like Pink Floyd" thing. Sure, they adore Floyd and were influenced to play music by them but, unless Floyd released a load of tracks I've never heard with female vocals, flute, violin, Uillean pipes, tinged by Celtic folk, I don't find their music very similar. Oh, sorry, Brian Josh plays a bit like Dave Gilmour and their record company promoted them (unwisely) as "The New Pink Floyd". And Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour liked them (a lot) and they released an album of Pink Floyd covers. That means MA are Floyd clones. Does it ****. But I love both bands.
As for Nimrodel, this is not remotely like Floyd either.
But my favourite IS a Mostly Autumn track which does sound a bit Floydian in mood (though not execution) and that's The Night Sky from their debut. Sensational.

Indeed. I never thought of it as Floydian, more like Royal Crimsonian, but in the given list Starless would be my favorite song |

Starless is also one of my all time favorites but I'm spreading the love to Roy Harper, gorgeous track.

Starless is one of my all time faves, but it in no way sounds even remotely Floydian.

I voted for "Sommerabend" too. Though I don't think it's Floydian.

Yeah, you might be right! There's little moments where I briefly think of Floyd, maybe in the sort of hazy drowsy vocals, but not a lot else. |
