Songs influenced and inspired by Pink Floyd

I'm terribly sorry if this thread has been started before. I searched for a while and couldn't find anything. So here it is....recently I made a compilation CD of songs that I felt had the most Pink Floyd influence. Kinda like a snapshot of all the groups past and present that they have influenced and inspired. There are some bands that are always being compared to Floyd (Tool, The Mars Volta) that I left off, simply because I couldn't find that ONE song that was Floyd enough. I wish there was a way I could put it up for download, as I love sharing music. With all the legalities of downloading copyrighted music these days, I don't think that's gonna happen. Maybe we could start a vine, which is where you just start a list of who wants a copy, then I send it to the first person, and they send it to the next. It only costs you a couple cents for postage and you get a kick ass CD out of the deal. Anyways, here is the track listing. I'm curious as to what you guys think of it.

1. Radar Brothers - Mountains
2. Comets on Fire - Brotherhood of the Harvest
3. Secret Machines - Pharaoh's Daughter
4. Radiohead - Lucky
5. Black Label Society - Dead Meadow
6. Porcupine Tree - Lips of Ashes
7. Ween - Back to Basom
8. The Kingsbury Manx - Castle
9. Alan Parsons Project - Time
10. Gov't Mule - Silent Scream
11. Archive - Again
12. Cave In - Innuendo and Out the Other
13. Opeth - Weakness
14. Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On

you must include ' silent lucidity ' by queensryche...it sounds just like something from ' the wall '

No Porcupine Tree?


Oh yes, I see them there, silly me.

I don't know a lot of those songs.
But if you want a Mars Volta song for it, I'd go with Cicatraz ESP. It has a long, spacy instrumental part. Very Floydian I suppose.

Nutopia, I would say Queensryche's "Anybody Listening?" is probably the most Gilmour-esque they got. Their guitarist (DeGarmo) is a very big Floyd fan, and comes from the Gilmour school of guitariry (that's what I call people who sound influenced by Gilmour's unique guitar style).

Here's a thought ::

How about the reason/rationale behind how/why you think said song is 'influenced' by Floyd ?

Fair enough Simon:

1. Radar Brothers - Mountains (this track reminds me of Breathe from Dark Side of the Moon, particularly the piano interludes. The song excels from its rather eerie sound, the out-of-time repeated lyrics, the 7/4 (7/8?) time measure, and the wonderfully placed whistling of frontman Jim Putnam.)
2. Comets on Fire - Brotherhood of the Harvest (makes great use out of a ghostly organ and guitar progression. sounds like it could've been on Obscurred by Clouds)
3. Secret Machines - Pharaoh's Daughter (very Floyd-ish. sounds like they lifted some of the chord changes from Breathe. and that's not a bad thing.)
4. Radiohead - Lucky (the chorus is very grand, with what kinda sounds like a slide guitar cutting through and the gregorian chant style background vocals)
5. Black Label Society - Dead Meadow (a very mellow acoustic/piano song that, to my ears, sounds very Floyd influenced)
6. Porcupine Tree - Lips of Ashes (kind of a Welcome to the Machine vibe, but instead of synths dominating the track, it's just an acoustic guitar and some interesting guitar work. Steven Wilson has a really cool guitar effect going on here.)
7. Ween - Back to Basom (Listen to the synth come in towards the end. Almost exactly like Shine On You Crazy Diamond.)
8. The Kingsbury Manx - Castle (this sounds like it was influenced by Fearless or Wot's...Uh, The Deal.)
9. Alan Parsons Project - Time (It might not sound Floyd-ish to some, but I can't deny it. Alan Parsons sounds like Rick Wright.)
10. Gov't Mule - Silent Scream (this sounds very Gilmour influenced. just listen.)
11. Archive - Again (never heard this band before in my life, but this song is really frickin' good. it's another "Welcome to the Machine" kinda song, but it goes on forever. 9 minutes later, i'm still not sick of it.)
12. Cave In - Innuendo and Out the Other (really good space-rock. these dudes used to play a really brutal type of metal. this sounds like they smoked a lot of pot while listening to Pink Floyd and said "let's try something different".)
13. Opeth - Weakness (a haunting song, to me it could be a Wall outtake.)
14. Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On (this song starts off very Floyd-esque, but developes into something not so Floyd. the female backup singers are a nice touch.)

You have a good taste in music!
