Pink Floyd has always been my favourite band. Does anybody know of any bands that are similar to them i could check out?

RPWL
Eloy Nektar Freedom To Glide Negative Zone (This one is probably as close as you can get to the PF sound from 67-72) Lucy In Blue The Alan Parson's Project Porcupine Tree (mid 90's era only though) Djam Karet Pulsar Camel (to some degree anyway especially some of the later stuff) Although I'm personally not that familiar with them apparently Airbag is very Floydish.

Gandalf's Fist
Dave Kerzner (so Pink Floyd influenced it hurts!) Porcupine Tree (if you ignore In Absentia to Fear of A Blank Planet when they got a bit more metal sounding) Eloy have been mentioned but its mainly the early eighties albums Planets and Time To Turn that have that Floydian sound. In the seventies they were 'pinching' from a lot of prog bands!

In general being a band similar to Pink Floyd is a bad idea. Unless you took their soundscapes (like Interstellar Overdrive, Saucerful of Secrets, Main Theme from More, first + last tunes on Meddle... and I suppose partly-or parts of Ummagumma etc) instead of their songs and created kosmische or krautrock with it. Early Floyd opened up for all of that (not singlehandedly of course). In many ways I think both Alpha Centauri and Rubycon are peak-Pink Floyd inspired music. |

He's trolling, he's mostly just on the right side of trolling, this is squarely on the wrong side.

I would say late seventies also though because how can you leave out Ocean and Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes? Those are very Floyd sounding imo.

Even worse than the version by the Scissor Sisters (and that is saying something) - for a start she's singing it about an octave too low.

If you prefer the space rock era of Floyd - i.e. approximately from Saucerful to Meddle, than I'd suggest the early Hawkwind albums from their S/T debut through to 'Warrior on the Edge of Time'.

Perhaps one of the most derivative Floyd clones of all ELOY
