Default 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.

Wax Fang

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

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. Still a great track though.
