I find Band Of Rain a bit Floydish (they are here in the archives) and check out the new band Pure Reason Revolution they are most definitely influences by Floyd. |

Hungarian band "Omega", at least in 2 albums: 200 Years After The Last War Time Robber (this one sounds really like PF) |

The only people who sound like Floyd are Floyd. Most bands take cues from Floyd like the mars volta who sound abit like Sid Barrett era at times bar that they dont sound Lkie them. Unless you count the cover bands like Think Floyd (who I must say are rather good) or Dream Theater last week when they done Dark Side of the moon lol. |

To add some Floydian inspired bands: Brasilian Tisaris/German Eloy (Silent Cries, Mighty Echoes)/Japanese Cosmos Factory (album An Old Castle .. sounds like early PF)/mid-Porcupine Tree (The Sky Moves Sideways-era)/early Ayreon (very Gilmourian guitar work)/Swiss Metamorphosis (album And Then All Was Silent)/French band Phaesis (album Reminiscence)/Thule and Popol Ace (Popol Vuh) from Norway/....

If you like early PINK FLOYD with Syd Barret, check some of his solo material (with caution)!
 You probably mean something like the albums "Dark Side of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here" or "Animals" though? Can't get anything quite similar to such in my mind!

NO DONT LISTEN TO ALL THOSE OTHER REPLIES... THE CLOSEST THING TO PINK FLOYD (well, the post dark side of the moon PF) is BY FAR "ASH RA TEMPEL's album, SCHWINGUNGEN" |

Bands that sound like Pink Floyd.... well, there are bands that play the same genre, but in my opinion, no one can play music like the Floyd. They will never be touched.

NW USA band Obscured By Clouds, do unplugged Floyd (also the odd Doors & Nick Drake cover). Greatly enjoyed their first album (privately issued via their own website - go surfing for details at: http://www.obscuredbyclouds.com/ where you can download mp3s), They even suggest that stripped of the electronics that Floyd are even closer to Roy Harper than you think................ |

And how about Blue Floyd - the members of The Allman Brothers' Band and Gov't Mule doing PF songs live! |

Well, maybe some Eloy and perhaps even more, This mortal coil and some Tangerine dream, but overall they are pretty unique, I think.
