Hark?
Is this reviews in a regency style day again?
I love that day!
yes
regency if you like, non-regency is ok too>
Vouch safe thine aid Oh Lord, let there be Floydian remeniscence!
I can not compete with that
Throwaway comment totally blew up in my undereducated face!
I stole it from Freemasonry
I'm spent.
The Flaming Lips
Wizard and Pompeii from Mystics, and the prog tracks from their early albums (particularly One Billionth...)
LCD Soundsystem
Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up - even sounds like Gilmour singing!!
cool
I guess I have to finally but it
There is a song on Anathema's "Alternative 4"
That is very Floydian maybe "Lost Control" and some Folydian moments on Anathema's "A Fine Day To Exit" as well.
Also...
You can see the influence in a few Coral songs, notably part of Astronomy Domine being ripped off blatantly in The Operator.
And Pure Reason Revolution are very Floyd influenced at times, can't think of a particular song at the moment though.
I know, isn't it amazing?
So often I'll be listening to something and then suddenly get an urge to put "Meddle" or "Wish You Were Here" on.
Listening to "Atom Heart Mother" at mo
The Soundtrack Of Our Lives
frequently sound like Pink Floyd... mind you, they sound like pretty much every 60s hippy rock act put together!
The Besnard Lakes
Kind of give off that vibe as well. Pink Floyd meets The Moody Blues.
WEISSENSEE by NUE on NUE!
it's so Floydian.
Voyage 34
by Porcupine Tree sounds so much like The Wall, it's almost a complete rip-off.
Six
Except Pink Floyd* suck and Mansun were great.
I've been meaning to get some mansun
start w/ grey lantern? or just get best of?
Strange
I thought there was loads of bands that actually sounded like Pink Floyd. I have really been looking since starting this thread but I.m coming up kind of empty eared.
Just listened to
23 by Blonde Redhead for the first time, and halfway through 'SW' there's a great um, 'tribute' to Atom Heart Mother!
what part of atom hart?
:)
Title track
Brassy bit - have a listen and you'll know what I mean ;)
My Chemical Romance
The Black Parade = The Wall. At least, The End = In The Flesh? and Mama = The Trial. To a hilarious degree.
I would say..
..Black Mountain and Comets On Fire to a certain extent at least.
Dream Theater
"Repentance" from Systematic Chaos could have come from DSOTM or WYWH such is the floydness.
hawkwind
even covered come floyd songs
