Why don't you just look in the threads and see what you like?
We also have recommendation threads in a lot of the sub-forums.

I don't really have time for that. Im leaving for florida in a few hours...

Thanks for the help though.

Suggestions for songs like Pink Floyd

In Absentia is a good starting album.

Those two videos are outta youtube due to copyright claims.

Can you please name the songs specifically?

Yes I liked the song Lazarus and its lyrics too but its not the same feel as PF.

Any others?

Okay... their earlier stuff is closer to that I'll see what I can do...

This is from In Asentia (not early but still very PF)
HEART ATTACK IN A LAY BY

From Stupid Dream
EVEN LESS

For rock, you might want to look at Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes and maybe Led Zeppelin and Queen.

That's not the rock he asked for.

If you're looking for a rather slow ballad type song, try "Arms of an Angel" by Sarah McLaughlin

Also try "Magic" by Colbie Caillat.

Those are songs I'd recommend.

I'm really digging what I'm hearing, woah...
Where should I head next?

I also brought The Shins - 'Oh, Inverted World', Amorphis - 'Skyforger' and Propagandhi - 'Supporting Caste'
...haven't listened to these yet but any recommendations on any other bands would be appreciated, so much good music that I've heard from being on MB. Thanks guys.

Definitely get"You're Living All Over Me"

When I started I got Bug first, then You're Living All Over Me, then Farm, and Beyond.
I stayed away from Where You Been because that was when the band wasn't really together, it was just the lead guitarist/vocalist J Mascis playing all the instruments.

TO sum things up for you
When the band was together (J Mascis, Lou Barlow, Murph they released these albums:

Dinosaur (1985)
You're Living All Over Me (1987)
Bug (1988) (when the band was starting to fall apart
Beyond (2007 when they got back together)
Farm (2009)

Albums with just J mascis:
Green Mind (1991)
Where You Been (1993)
Without A Sound (1994)
Hand It Over (1997)
