Band most like Floyd

What band would you say sound or are most like Pink Floyd?


h

well since nobody would reply, i will

no band compairs, plain and simple. it looks to me that Radiohead is attempting, and in my OPINION,,,,,, The Moody Blues and a few others have taken a little Pink-Floyd-sound and mixed it into their albums here and there, i.e. 'nights in white satin'.

but yeah, i cant honestly find a good comparison.

King Crimson sometime sound a little floydish, at least their first album does.

can't think of any.FLOYD RULE.has anybody ever heard "the music"?they sound allot like led zeppelin.

There are some songs which are are very Floydian - " Silent Lucidity " [Queensryche] which sounds like it came from " the Wall ". " Why Me " & " Static " by Planet P w/ Tony Carey, and " No Quarter " by Led Zeppelin.

Early Porcupine Tree stuff sounds incredibly like Floyd.

Thanks guys - I'll check those out. The Moody Blues I agree with, was listening to an online Pink Floyd radio yesterday and I heard some of their songs and they did sound almost "floydish".

Another good similar but different prog group you should try out is Yes. They are great.

-Led

There is a group that does this really awesome spaced-out music at clubs not too far from here. I can't remember the name, but the first time I heard it, I thought immediately of early-Floyd, Barrett era. Good stuff.

Remember the name - think!!!

I promise when I remember I'll post it here!

I think Queensryche picked up the Floyd baton and carried it forward. I know guitarist Chris DeGarmo was a fan, and thus influenced.

I don't know if anyone agrees, but I think in the way Floyd changed music and all and had a style of their own, TooL does the same thing....Both have used music in ways never heard before as well as use<d> visuals to empahsize the music, making it more than just something to listen to, but also something that captures your mind

Okay, I remembered. They're called On. Really interesting stuff.

Any songs you recommend?
