Post rock? Wtf is that?

Ah. Not really my thing. Thought you meant Progressive Rock.

Although I don't agree with the genre label, I'll ignore it for ease's sake.

Godspeed for me, no contest.

Mogwai.


I dont know if I would class Four Tet as post rock, its more focused on electronics and breakbeats.

yeah...I think you're right

oh well

I like all the bands in that list except Explosions, and Do Make Say Think(hardly heard anything from the band).

The one I listen to most though is Sigur Ros, absolutely adore the band.

''Post-rock'', that is so unbelievably shitty.

Agreed

Godspeed, and agreed with everyone who said this particular label is stupid.

I chose not to comment directly because I had the whole debate in another 'post-rock' thread.

Why can't it just be called instrumental music?

I think of it as instrumental rock. I don't feel the need to analyse it beyond that, and even then, I don't feel all these bands necessarily fit together.

uhh...actually I've never heard of any of those lol

Sigur Ros

this is a stupid "genre"

That's just rock.

"Post rock"?

In fact I'd say it was more progressive rock, to take instruments and use them as "facilitators" for new music.

Blah, I hate labels.
