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". 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Nice pick. The whole album is wonderful actually, even if it sounds completely different to the track in this poll.

Btw did you forget to vote or did you change your mind?Smile

I knew they were pretty obscure (although they had a small jolt of coverage on PA a good while back), but I was counting on at least a couple of mentions of the Siddhartha tune. 
Here it is embedded for all the lazy buggersTongue:

For me, it's between Future Kings of England, Phideaux, and Eloy. That's my favorite album by FKoE, so I went with that, although there are songs on it that I like more and consider even more 'Floydian', particularly Bartholomew's Merman and Dunwich: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urIdopLmdPU&list=PLVYv9Ze55C6moBzEnwH6WR2964Zm3DezW&index=3
