Any bands similar to Pink Floyd?
 

Well, I must of listened to each album three times now... Apart from the wall, which i've listened to around 6 times or the division bell which i've never listened to completely. They'll always be amazing but I was wondering if anyone knows any bands that are similar sounding. If y'know what I mean. Cheers.

I always felt like they were Pink Floyd but with Synthesizers so to speak

Welcome to MB, Funtage! Take a look at some of the bands here if you like:-

Mid 90 era Porcupine Tree. The Sky Moves Sideways is a nice homage to Wish You Were Here in album structure.

This is very Syd Barrett-esque.

Fuchsia - Me and My Kite [Fuchsia] 1971

I'm pretty sure Fuschia were one of the first bands I ever listened to when I joined this site. Also pretty sure I haven't listened to them since.

The first and still best rec I got was Nebula, and after that I just look on my own.

Time Flies is also very similar to Dogs.

That one is more of a rip off than a homage. :D Still a great track though.

Early Tangerine Dream reminds me of parts of Ummagumma.

early porcupine tree is worth the listen. but i have to say i don't think an band has ever sounded or been similar to Floyd. but then again i am bias as i am a huge Floyd fan

When asking such a question, one must ask which period-Floyd?

Like King Crimson, they went thru two/three rather dramatic changes.
