Welcome to the forum. 
Some bands that come to mind:
Hawkwind (classic space rock)
Godspeed You Black Emperor! (very trippy and experimental)
Porcupine Tree (if you like a slightly crunchy, metallic edge)

The band does not sound like PF at all, but there is a song they did which I think does:
High as Pride - by Echolyn
But beside that, I don't think anyone came close to sounding like Floyd.

I don't think Hawkwind sound like Floyd - they sound altogether more like Hawkwind 
Eloy are a mix of Hawkwind and Floyd - quite uncanny sometimes...

I think Eloy is closer to the sound of VDGG, albeit faster like Hawkwind. Pink Floyd has a pretty distinctive sound - something in between Hawkwind, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Camel and Dire Straits, is probably most accurate.

Eloy sounds a bit like floyd, but it's really less good.
"Dom", a german band sounds close to PF, but it's quite amateurish.

Hi Ravensoul, welcome to the forum!
Pink Floyd went through some changes in style themselves of course, any particular albums of their's you had in mind?

Riverside - Out Of Myself
Very good album with many moments of Floydesque magic.

There might be some similarities between GY!BE and PF, but there seems to be an awful lot more difference...

Porcupine Tree has some very obvious Floyd influences, closest thing Floyd I can think of right now.

if your looking for the sound of peak period Pink
Floyd or Tangerine Dream, mostly without vocals
and created in europe during the same time period
you need to look into mostly German Kosmiche
Musik!
Lard Free - I Am After Midnight or 3(france)
Atila - Reviure(spain)
Neuronium - Quasar 2C361(spain)
Sensations Fix - Portable Madness(italy)
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass(germany)
Ashra - Blackouts
Schicke, Fuhrs, & Froeling - Symphonic Pictures
is a good place to start!
I would hate for you guys to run your car into a ditch, I
dont think you could find the door to get out!

The Sky Moves Sideways is really an ode to Pink Floyd. The Sky Moves Sideways Part 1 even has the Gilmour guitar thing going on.

Without a doubt, the closest thing to Pink Floyd is a german band "RPWL". They even started as PF Revival Band, though they changed their style two albums ago.

Porcupine Tree is the one that comes to mind of the neo-progs

the 70s german band GILA: the two first albums are very closed to PF at their best moments
