sharkticon Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 CaspianGodspeed You Black Emperor Explosions in the Sky This is Your Captain Speaking Mono These are some of your staple bands right here. The Zeppelins and Pink Floyds and Beatles of post-rock. Here's some more for when you start to branch out: Russian Circles Beware Of Safety Giants Gifts From Enola Irepress If These Trees Could Talk Earthless Glaciers The Ascent Of Everest Blueneck Jakob This Will Destroy You Toundra and the Mono/World's End Girlfriend record "Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain" is one of the best albums in the whole genre. Go listen to that. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natem Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Because everyone knows the best post rock song has the longest title, you should listen to "Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe." by the Red Sparowes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
