Considering I didn't start listening to post-rock until I saw Friday Night Lights I'm afraid of being that guy you know the one who goes into a 'Lets talk about Rock'n Roll' thread and says 'Ever heard of the Rolling Stones?' I just don't know what is popular or already so well-known it doesn't bear mentioning. Anyways I really have been digging what I've been finding. Mogwai, GYBE and obviously EITS. I didn't really get into Set Fire to Flames. Lately I've been finding newer bands on emusic.com and right now my favorite three are the following and since I haven't seen them mentioned in this thread I'll throw them out there. God Is an Astronaut Definitely not an EITS rip-off to me, there's a bit more of a New Age music sound going here, others may disagree. My two favorite songs by them are off of "All is Violent, All is Bright." Forever Lost - imeem.com excerpt. Fragile - youtube video. Bury the Sound Highly recommend giving "Gemini Unbound" a listen off of their myspace page linked above. Like basically every postrock song I like it starts of slow and builds to a really nice crescendo. If I had to compare it to something else I've heard I'd say the really early EITS stuff which to me always sounded more like regular old indie/emo sans vocals. 2 by Bukowski Haven't heard as much by them since I ran out of this month's downloads at emusic.com after one song. Really like them so far but having trouble finding a link for a listen. Their song "I am Ready for Death in this Dominion.mp3" really works for me though, adds a nice almost gothy twinge to the postrock recipe.
