I'd suggest The Future Kings Of England, very spacey, excellent band

I'm a big Floyd fan myself, and I'm really into Steven Wilson's "The Raven That Refused To Sing".  As a matter of fact, the producer of "Dark Side Of The Moon", Alan Parson's also recorded this album released in 2013.  Also watch Wilson's DVD "Get all you deserve".  I think you'll like it.  Here's a good one for you...

I've spent years searching for something able to give me the same vibrations of Saucerful Of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother and Echoes....I haven't found anything better than Camel.

Maybe not all the time, but Brazilian Violeta de Outono does get pretty close to Floyd at times. This one from their Volume 7 album is testimony to that, and what a tune it is!




Turkish act Siddharta also wields an uncanny Floyd vibe. One of the rare successful heir-takers of the sound imo:

Abarax, Airbag, Negative Zone, Torga Ostera all follow that great melodic Floyd rock as found on Meddle through The Division Bell.

Download the following (free) which shows some pretty strong Floydian influences -

Not a Pink Floyd tribute band, but you may enjoy it!

Semi-Early Porcupine Tree(Sky Moves Sideways, Signify) And even some of Steven Wilson's solo stuff reminds me of Floyd. You can tell he is deeply influenced by them. I agree with an above poster about Camel. Terrific band with Floyd influence. :D

If you like One of These Days and Echoes (two of my faves) from Meddle, Tangerine Dream's Rubycon album sounds a little like a dreamier combination of those two:

Just relistened to Eloy - Silent Cries and I take back my judgement, very Floydian.
