bands that sound like pink floyd

Some of Mostly Autumn sound like Division Bell era Floyd.  Floyd with a little folk/celtic rock going on.  The guitarist is very Gilmoresque.

RPWL was a Floyd cover band origonally and still carry some of their Dark Side era sound.

Dyolf Knip sound a lot like them played backward 

Anathema (at least since the times of "Alternative 4") and Lake of Tears (the album "Forever Autumn").

Maybe I'm just a Floyd purist... but Mostly Autumn altho I know Brian is a big Gilmour fan, sounds nothing like Floyd to me.  Neither does Porcupine Tree (even in their early years).. altho I like Porcupine Tree.

Some of Alan Parson's sounds Floyd like.  He has one cd out in the 90s thats got a few Floyd sounding numbers... "Try Anything Once".. and of course, Gilmour played on one song from his current CD "A Valid Path"...

Floyd has a specific sound because no one plays like Gilmour.  Its something Roger probably realized when he went solo... Gilmour carried on the Pink Floyd sound, because he was the Pink Floyd sound.

Hello,

I agree with some writers here at this forum; Mostly Autumn (try a "Gab is too Wide", absolutely influenced by Pink Floyd with a Celtic edge a must have for PF fans, the guitarist Bryan Josh, looked even as David in his younger days), RPWL ("As God has failed" and more)(both have covered PF songs and played a few times Comfortably Numb together!) , Porcupine Tree ("The Sky Moves Sydeways"), Eloy, Pendragon, Camel and also;

Lee Saunders: A Promise of Peace  (a Rogers Waters like solo album),
Blackfield, Steve Wilson of Procupine Tree with Aviv Geffen (or is this too soft?),
Ambrosia (Alan Parsons got a grammy for producing an album of them),
Dream Academy (Gilmour is involved with them),
Phil Manzanera (6 pm),
Magenta (? or is that too much yes?)(but the guitar work...).

By the way at almost every session recording Dave Gilmour is playing there is that strong recognizable guitar work present; from Propaganda till Lionna Boyd, All about Eve, Jimmy Nail, The Pretty Things, Arcadia, Snowy White, Sam & Vicky Brown or Warren Zevon... all beauties. You could fill 3 ceedees with his solo's very easy without becomming boring. See: http://home.hetnet.nl/~nickgielkens/david/index.htm


Nick at www.mostlypink.nl about the connection between Mostly Autumn, Pink Floyd and other bands...

     mostly autumn?!!

     nah, never.

     don't believe the hype!

               

Pink Fraud sounds like Pink Floyd .

Try this one:

Area 39 www.area39project.com/  if that don't sound as.... funny.

And by the way;
Mostly Autumn is influenced by Pink Floyd and no not all their songs sound like PF, absolutely not! But have a listen at "The Gab Is too Wide", "Mother Nature", "The Last Climb","The Last Bright Light", "Evergreen", their spacy intro's, the long guitar solo's, the seek to perfection... 

But indeed Heather doesn't sound like Roger, Rick, Nick or David.

Keep smiling ;-)
