Mostly Autumn: The New Pink Floyd?

And since Rush's prog credentials are up in the air, how about Mostly Autumn's? Or should I wait for that eventual argument to appear mostly in autumn? For anyone reading this in Australia, it already is Mostly Autumn.

Tend to think of them as just another female fronted band most notable for the lead singer baling on Fish (poor chap!) although I do have the Pass The Clock compilation (great value if you don't own anything by them previously) . Great guitarist and excellent singer but I find a lot of their stuff not very interesting to be honest and there is just too much of it.

Psychedelic Paul wrote: Frenetic Zetetic wrote: Pink Floyd...they were progressive rock, correct? Mostly Autumn have progressed a long way from their Prog Folk roots. They've branched out into Progressive Metal now (mostly).

Classic Rock Productions tried to push them as being Floydian. But they were more than that. I can hear influences of All About Eve, Deep Purple, Camel and Fleetwood Mac etc.  And I do like bands where the lead vocals are shared. That is reminiscent of Floyd, Queen, Gong And Fleetwood Mac.  Bryan Josh is a great songwriter and guitarist. And there is very much light and shade in their music.    I thought it was only me who suggested they're the new Pink Floyd. It's good to know I'm not the only one who can hear the strong resemblance across all of their albums, and not just on their Pink Floyd Revisited album.

Put the bottle down.

As Jim Royle might have said, 'New Pink Floyd - my arse!'.
