IMO Gilmour only started having any influence in Floyd around Meddle (... same time as Moving Waves?), and matured (... for me) somewhere around Darkside/WYWH (i.e. mid '70s). I get that you come across as a big Floyd fan (as am I), but I cannot begin to grasp the concept of Akkerman being an imitation (pale or not) of an already matured Gilmour?? ... what were you saying about something not adding up historically?
I'm not bashing, or downing on Gilmour in any way, he is an incredible guitarist, one of the very few who are truly 'one offs' and have managed to create an instantly recognisable style & sound (more so than Akkerman).
If you have listened to some Focus, and can't hear anything that reminds you of the Floyd, then fair enough - that the subjective part again. Nobody is trying to force you to hear anything, there is no theory - again, just my opinion.

Golden Earring, although I had to google to confirm that.

I'll throw Delain in there, since they toured with Within Temptation
|
|
|
|

Yes, I know these and I am not cheating
Within Temptation,
Epica,
The Gathering,
Mercenary,
Golden Earring
...
I knew a few more but forgot them now

I don't think Abba is a dutch band; swedish I think. And we could discuss whether it is a rock band
But I can be wrong.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

meh. Swedish/Dutch/Danish is all the same I think.
|

Abba is neither Dutch nor are they Rock. And the same goes for the others.
I believe Pompeyboy is just being himself.

The only one I can think of is Urban Dance Squad.

What do you want:
1 Dutch origin (as in The Netherlands)
2 Dutch speaking (as in Flemish and Dutch)
3 Singing in Dutch (and not English)
1: Golden Earring
2: The Scabs, Hooverphonic, Channel Zero
3: Cpex, Belgian Asociality
And with that I assume you mean really "rock" or heavier as main stream, because I know a lot of artists which have an occasional rock song or have an extensive protfolio in another genre.
Does that suffice ?

Don't kill me for this:
Caught in the act

Had to google that.
You lose a man point.

...just like all the band members, too
|

You can't lose what you don't have.

In my defence I have to say, the only Dutch rock band I know is Golden Earring.
But I'm old enough to remember "Caught in the act" from the time I was a teenager...not that I listened to that kind of music

I'd say Heidevolk, although I admit I'm not 100% sure about their country

You mean Heideroosjes
