Any good Pink Floyd -like bands?

Heavy Moon has definitive pre-Animals Floydian inspiration

Probably been mentioned....AIRBAG

Airbag is just amazing. They take a strong PF style, improvise, and create a slightly harder edge soundscape that stands alone. Bjorn Riis plays heavily in the Gilmour style but has a sadness or loneliness to his playing that while similar is inherently different. If you like PF, you should appreciate Airbag.

Another PF type band is Raven Sad. Pretty unique Italian band that has strong PF influences.

Abarax - crying of the whales is virtually PF without being as unique.

Cosmos - I think is a French band. PF rip-off but still palatable

Ekos - Mexican PF style band. Very very ‘animals era’ sounding

Metamorphosis- more of a porcupine tree band but strong PF influences

Bands like (the fabulous) Anathema, frequency drift, nosound etc sound like variations of PF but not consistently

Early Porcupine Tree was PF. Really, they were virtually all PF. Great stuff though. Especially since SW came out
With that abomination of that song permanation or whatever it was off his last album.

RPWL used to sound very PF. Their later stuff has drifted away. They still sound great however.

If you go to All music.com and look at the list of bands thst are inspired by Floyd, it is longer than a toilet-paper. To mention a few is just a promille. But a good start is the Krautrock scene and Gong if you want avant garde/experimental/psych floydn Alan Parson Project is a good band to seek if one want Dark Side influenced bands

Eloy, Porcupine Tree(early), Nektar, Can, Krautrock in general, 70's Tangerine Dream, 70's Alan Parson's Project, Camel, RPWL. That should get a newbie started. That plus all the other recommendations.
