I was wondering, are there any modern bands that have sort of that Pink Floydness to them? Not Tribute bands, just bands that feel like Pink Floyd, but arent.

Well my favourite up-and-coming band "Mostly Autumn" have received a lot of stick recently for using a quote from a Floyd fanzine that asked "Is this the next Pink Floyd?"

Personally I think they've over-used it, but there ARE definate Floyd-ish qualities to the music. Most obvious is their lead guitarist Bryan Josh who openly admits to being heavily influenced by Dave Gilmour.

There have been rumours that Rick Wright and Roger Waters have attended gigs, and it's certainly been confirmed (on BBC radio nonetheless) that Rick really does rate them!

Actually I DON'T think they are the next Pink Floyd... but they ARE the first Mostly Autumn! :;):

There is also the almost cliche comparison of Floyd and Radiohead. They do share a few similarities in some of their songs, but there are major differences. But Radiohead is a definate must-listen too. They're one of my favorite bands.

Oh yeah, "Porcupine Tree" are great, particularly their last album "In Absentia" (and especially the 5.1 mix DVD-A) :)

I can also recommend "Arena" (though more in an Marrillion-esque vein).

How about "IQ" (does "Subterannea" really compare with "The Wall"?)

If you like grand concept albums, how about "Aryeon"? Both "Into The Electric Castle" and the latest album "The Human Equation" are stunning (though the latter does feature Heather from M.A. so I'm biased!) :;):

How about former Floyd tribute band R.P.W.L.?

The great-rock german band Eloy dates from the 70's. They don't really sound like PF but their "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes" LP does sound a lot like WYWH; It came out after WYWH and it's obviously inspired by it.

uhhh..i'd say Led Zeppelin naturally..but they don't apply to this so i think i'd say the beatles. :upside: but..those arent modern.

The music of MARILLION is sounding more and more Floydian as time goes on....

I hear from some people that the band "Tool" is like the "Pink Floyd Of Today"
