May you recommend better bands? What's your favorite song (preferably rock/alternative rock/brit rock) of all time? (so I may download it... hahaha) Thanks!

Pink FLoyd is the greatest, no question about it, but there are other great bands that may tickle your fancy. May I recomend the early work of Genesis, pre-Phil Collins at the helm. Also there is a very interesting sound coming from a band called Marillion, who will intrigue you. Also try listening to some of the sounds of Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and also some of their respective work as soloists. Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel, Rick Wakeman, etc.
There are a few most recent additions that might trigger a good response: Laurie Anderson, Gustavo Cerati(Front man of an Argentinian Band called Soda Stereo) And a final piece of advice, don't close the doors at great music. You can find great pleasure in broadening your listening spectre.

Heehe, I feel the same way you do.
Radiohead (Just, Paranoid Android, Wolf at the Door, There There, Karma Police) and Porcupine Tree (Blackest Eyes, Mellatron Scratch, Buying New Soul, Stranger by the Minute) anr to British rock bands that I adore and use to obsess over the way I obsess over Pink Floyd now

You can't. Pink Floyd is one of the all-time greatest rock bands. I never could figure out how they kept coming up with so much material about the late Syd Barrett (who with Roger Waters co-founded the band), who spent most of his life battling mental illness. As far as electronic music goes Emerson, Lake and Palmer is a great band. Yes is another great band in that genre.

For progressive rock, listen to Jethro Tull, Yes, Camel, King Crimson, Barclay James Harvest, Gentle Giant, etc.

To stop yourself obsessing with Pink Floyd.....
Listen to the Doors, or Led Zeppelin, or Ozzy....
Those are my all time favs
Also include Live, System of a Down, Metallica

I know how you feel. I'm like that with "The Doors". I think it's all that psychedelic music that puts you in a trance and brainwashes you sorta. I recommend the Doors to you. I like Pink Floyd a lot too.

Listen to another band after you have become comfortably numb.
