I have a very soft spot for Freedom To Glide and their WW1 concept album "Rain", from 2013 - beautiful work by these guys, I only wish the sound on that album was a little more "full"..

I know, but I decided to run with 10 contestants. Hell I could've made an entire tournament with bands that reek of FloydLOL (maybe I'll do a second one)

I can't wait for the new reissue of Torga Ostera's album Big smile I'd also add Arena to those two, they have a lot of Floydian tracks.

We even had it registered as an entry here on PA. The track listings were all official and we thought it merely was a matter of time before we got to hear the final product....but no cigar. Didn't stop PAs infamous Nostradamuses from rating it thoughLOL....which then led to it's deletion. 

All I know is that it has been on the verge of "releasing" quite a few times by now. I genuinely believed that we got to hear it in 2015....now I'm not so sure. Oh well there's still a few months to goLOL

I would pick the Brazilian's album over the Turks album but both songs move me emotionally. I'll vote later after a fresh listen to both.

Hah!LOL I forgot my own poll.

Anyway, thank you John. I'm pleased to see you mentioning some of the lesser known artists here....and I also see that you finally went for Violeta de Outono. Great track that one! Now I know they used to do Floyd covers back when they first started out, yet it's only rarely they sound like it on their studio albums. The debut fx sounds far more raw - almost like post-punk and space rock having a baby together.

I got a Floyd cover album last night : Echoes - Barefoot To The Moon
They cover some of popular songs in a acoustic live performance. Songs like : "Shine on ..." , "High Hopes" , "Comfortably Numb" ,... . I don't know about this band and the only thing that I'm sure is they are from Germany. I listened 3 times to it. Great and Perfect but different. For example they play solo guitar of "High Hopes " with Violin and Sax (I guess). Try it.

More than just Floydian, "What Are They Doing in Heaven Today" by Mogwai sounds Roger Waters
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Kanoi (kanoi.bandcsmp.com) has released an ep this year with an excellent cover of the Embryo. His last full length studio album has vedy floydian sounds reminding to the saucerful period

Not on the list, but I'd like to mention Rain part 1 by Freedom To Glide.
 
Quote "Announcing their presence with the RAIN EP, Freedom To Glide's intentions are evident in the fact that it's three tracks are best experienced as a single passage of music. A concept piece about World War 1 it sounds like the best of mid/late career Pink Floyd." PROG Magazine -May 2012.

Hi. There are Many Genesis clone bands that have high rates like "Citizen Cain" , "Unifaun" , "5 Bridges" , "The Watch " and ... RPWL cover Pink Floyd in some of their concerts and they released one of this kind in 2015 and I think they covered some of great forgotten songs of P.F like "The Embryo" , "Green is Colour" , "Atom heart Mother" and etc BUT Genesis clone bands released albums as "The Original" albums.

RPWL and the guitarist Yogi Lang has released an excellent solo album. 

My choice in the list is Eloy (more Alan Parsons than Floyd this track imo). I don't think the Phideaux track is Floydian.


Shocked Damn we hear things differently Luca!
The synthesisers on Thank You For The Evil have Floyd written all over them....according to these ears that is!



I can't think "Floydian" with these vocals LOL. I like Phideaux, I prefer Doomsday Afternoon to Snowtorch but I sometines listen to Snowtorch too and I've never felt "Floyd". 


Well if it makes you feel any better then it's the only tune of Phideaux's that reek of Floyd to these ears. I don't hear it elsewhere.
.....and no definitely no Floyd in the vocals either.
