The closest you'll get to Pink Floyd by a modern band is Porcupine Tree, they are one of the best bands I've ever heard. They formed in the 90s but a lot if not most of their work is from the 2000s. I suggest you check their live albums Anesthetise, Arriving Somewere, Coma Divine. Here some examples:

Just started listening to the first song and for some reason the intro reminded me of Mad World (which I heard on Donnie Darko).  Anyways, I do feel a little Pink Floyd type vibe.  Nice laid back music that has good melody and lyrics.  Thanks for the suggestion on this band.  It isn't like I want or expect bands to sound like my favorite bands from the past but I would like something that would nice just as nice or better (just like most of the classic rock bands that I love).  It just seems most rock has lost all of its structure (such as the melody and lyrics don't even really fit right).  It is hard for to explain since my music terminology is poor but I hope you get my point.  Just pick any CCR song for my example.
