Of those 'Floyd' type tracks listed Mustard Men by TFKOE is my personal favorite.
After that  Eloy, Nektar, PT,..

I think "Airbag : Call me back " have Floydian atmosphere very clear . Sounding and Arrangement is very similar to many of Pink Floyd tracks. And their Clear Floyd influence is Guitar Playing.

You can see many of "Wish You Were Here" elements in this song. I guessed Airbag win this poll but I mistake about that !!

Cest la vie by Progarchives. Wink

In the Brazilian case, there are actually some bands still awaiting to be added here. The most prominent of them, the I-always-make-propaganda-for-tham, Secos & Molhados.

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

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

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 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.
