I am looking for some new music to get into :)

Some of my favorite bands are Porcupine Tree, Rush, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Opeth, Anathema (their newer albums), 3, Led Zeppelin and  Genesis.

First thing, what do you have of Pink Floyd?  Some of their earlier albums - which are generally less well-known - are absolutely amazing

Secondly, I would try some Beardfish and maybe some Tortoise if I were you.  Destined Solitaire and TNT are great albums

Third, how do you feel about jazz and folk music?


I guess I should also ask if you like instrumental music, or insist upon vocals

I'm open to giving almost anything a try.

The Pink Floyd albums I own are Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here and The Division Bell.

Ah, I might have known.

I, personally, consider Meddle, Ummagumma, and A Saucerful of Secrets to be their best works, although you can't really go wrong with anything they did in that early period

No I don't have it :( 

I have listened to a bit of it and it is amazing but I haven't seen a copy when I have been out and about.

haha he means "You must obtain Animals"

Also, do you have Porcupine Tree's albums Up the Downstairs and The Sky Moves Sideways?  Very Floyd-y

Even if you're not a fanboy (and I am Embarrassed), there is enough variety between Floyd albums that it's worth getting them all nearly all of them

Get The Final Cut! It's The Wall but without any filler and imo its a very solid masterpiece (PF's best together with Animals I think). Many people really hate it though, so you can actually go wrong with it.

Seconded.

I recommend everything except A Momentary Lapse of Reason. LOL

Also, if you haven't already, I recommend Live at Pompeii.

The Pulse DVD is also really great.

But honestly, disk 1 of Ummagumma is the best live album of all time

Ummagumma is a mixed bag; the first 'studio' disc is horrible and meaningless for the most part. The 'live' portion however, is excellent, and one of my most enjoyed Floyd discs.
