Pink Floyd is the Pink Floyd of our generation.

As far as pushing the psychedelic music envelope, noone beats Tool.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Hmmm I personally don't see why there should (or even possibly could be) a Pink Floyd of our generation. STS9 sure ain't it. As great as Radiohead is, and while they definitely will be remembered as one of the most epic and creative forces of the 90's/00's music era, WHAT do they have to do with Pink Floyd??? Unlike Pink Floyd, Radiohead have never been known as a psychedelic band, so I just don't see how mentioning them in this thread is relevant. The Flaming Lips would be more appropriate to compare to Pink Floyd really.

Apparently there must be alot of people out there waiting around and hoping for the next Pink Floyd or Zeppelin to swoop onto the scene. But why is that important? There may never again be a single band which leaves that much of an individual impact on music, and maybe that's ok. I have plenty of friends who latch onto ONE band, becoming completely obsessed with them (whether it be Tool, Pink Floyd, Metalica, Radiohead, etc). While it's great to be passionate about something, I'm not so convinced that being fixated with only a handful of particular bands is healthy. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of bands and artists out there making music who at least deserve a listen. So why not give one of them a shot, instead of listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the 300th time in your life?

just a thought.

I think you're right to say that to be stuck with one band or small group of bands is pretty close minded.

I love sector 9 for their diversity. They put on really solid shows that are nothing short of a jazzy, funkadelic dance party. That's what I love about them. It's just good times.

There will always be people that don't dig them. Everyone has different opinions to what sounds 'good' and what shows ' rock'. It's really all relative.

They are talented musicians that know how to throw down a damn fine dance party and I love them!

If anyone has the honor of even being close to "the Pink Floyd of our generation", it's Oceansize! Listen to their debut album Effloresce, it's fuckin epic. They sound like a mix of dredg, Radiohead, Tool, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, and older Incubus. Easily one of the most talented and underrated bands of our time.

Oceansize is great post-rock, but I wouldn't compare them to Floyd or Tool.

There are just too many similar sounding bands out there right now.

There is just so much music out there these days that it's near impossible for a band to reach everyone. :ohwell:

Oceansize has it's post-rock moments, but can be as heavy and massive as Tool also...sometimes more so. The way they compose songs reminds me alot of Tool's song structures, long (avg. 6-10 min) and complex. They use odd time signatures and use them well, switching between 7/4, 11/8, 15/4, and others seamlessly throughout songs (but not like dream theater. they don't rub it in your face that their music is technical and complicated. sometimes you have to really listen for it). Their drummer can and should be placed in the same class as Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Gavin Harrison and whoever else you think deserves to be placed in the list of elite drummers (sorry if i didn't list your favorite drummer, don't blow up at me). Their music has to grow on you sometimes, like most great bands that never seem to get old. Long story short, Oceansize is a talented underrated band that deserves more attention. My favorite by them is their debut album Effloresce, but I recommend literally everything they have released.

I don't have any torrent links, but i'm sure they wouldn't be hard to find.

by the way, the music on their myspace right now doesn't give the best impression of them...

I don't ever blow up at anyone dude. :sun:

Oceansize - Effloresce (2003)

Oceansize - Music For Nurses

They're good, but like Soularize said we shouldn't get hung up on one band, there are THOUSANDS of great albums out there waiting to be heard.

My roommates listen to Tool and the Melvins over and over again and I try to turn them on to new music but they don't even listen to it. :ohwell:

Make sure to check out bands like ISIS, Pelican, UFOMammut, Lent0, Across Tundras, Boris, Caldera, Bossk, Rosetta, Tides, Windmills By The Ocean, 5ive, etc.

I discovered most of these awesome bands thanks to posts in the Avant-Garde Metal thread. :thumbup:

Pink Floyd were quite heavy for their time in their early days, if there is a PF of our generation they are most definitely Metal. :rockon:

Oh I don't get hung up on Oceansize only, don't worry.  I'm always open to listening to new bands!  I just can't help but try to spread the word about them because I have such strong feelings for them.  I really believe they are one of the best bands since the 70's, and that's a big deal for me.  I used to be too closed minded to newer music because i didn't like what i heard on the radio and thought that was it.  Then i realized that you really have to search for most of the really good bands these days.  I get most of my recommendations from http://www.progarchives.com/ and last.fm

I've heard of, and listened to quite a bit of, Pelican and Isis (more so Isis), but haven't heard of the others.  I will check them out, thanks for the tips :thumbup:  Avant-Garde Metal is an interesting category...i've heard some really great and some dreadfully awful bands from that genre.

I don't know if the "pink floyd of our time" would be metal per se, but definitely a heavier band pushing boundaries like you said.  I still stick with Oceansize, as they fit this description.  They flow from grace and beauty to sheer power within a song and within an album.  all the best parts of ambiance and metal brought together in a totally new sound.

Radiohead is the Pink Floyd of our generation. Epic rock with lyrics that sing about both internal emotional turmoil and external societal pressures, all coming from a very scary psychological place and turning it into something beautiful.
