[TheBlurHeart]

I havent listened to a lot of post rock tracks but I feel they can act as a good way to bring scattered pieces of mind together, sometimes :)

You can also listen to Kenotic by Hammock. My fav.

[archfruit]

my top 5 PR songs are a mix of famous ones and underground ones

1 - "yearning" - mono

2 - "strings break" - union trade

3 - "remembrance of things past" - so above so below

4 - "first day of sun" - God is an astronaut

5 - "clouds" - nevermind the name

[myespion]

Excellent choices for Explosions in the Sky and Do Make Say Think.

[danaic1]

God, I hate Top 10's... too short to do the job! And where are RUSSIAN CIRCLES????

[TheVodKanockers]

Moonlit Sailor - Hope

[japhstar86]

Check out Exxasens - 'Helios', 'Eclipse', 'Science Will Save Us' & 'Blue Space'

No Jakob, Mono, Red Sparowes, Yndi Halda or Russian Circles?! You make me a sad panda.

[YesNoMaybeee]

Post rock seems like such an amazing type of music! I'm definitely going to start listening to it. But can someone tell me which band I should start with??

[ShoegazeOttawa]

"Greet Death". What an amzing piece of music.

[rockeryears]

Listen to Signalling Through The Flames by The American Dollar! Amazingly beautiful piece of art!

[burakaky]

If you don't take 'First Breath After Come' by Explosions in the Sky to that list, then that list sucks.

[deksterification]

there is a severe lack of Slint here

[EVEHOLT3141]

Untitled 8 - Sigur Rós

[TheOtherSun]

This kind of post rock is too mellow.

[TheVodKanockers]

Robin Guthrie Albums -

Imperial

Moonlit Sailor is an amazing post-rock band! Check 'em out.

Under Nihilo

[JonnoThomas]

I don't know how much Russian Circles is considered "Post Rock" but they have a lot of great tunes.

[onespeed1664]

its not technically post rock, but I would say that Careful With That Axe Eugene is amazing, especially the live versions like pompeii

[HEATMUSK]

and mono?

[TheMrMrinvalidify]

great but i have heard better

[Kalousx]

no viðrar vel til loftárása?

[macjob]

Where is Maybeshewill, and El Ten Eleven, and Do make Say think D: ヾ(●⌒●)ﾉ

[C0pyPasta]

mfw - 7:15 crescendo is boring as hell.. even efrim agree and move on to asmz. the only bands that u can ctrl a the whole album and put it in winamp and shuffle is mogwai and eits.

[christianmetalgear]

your hand in mine, EITS

[jeffreyweg]

3:04

>mfw people think Godspeed You! Black Emperor isn't the best post rock band ever.

[quanchung128]

Where's If These Trees Could Talk??

[lakebourg]

@kahirie1 look at the description :)

btw: pelican should be no. 1 !!!

[kahirie1]

i new in post rock...why dont list a band name???

[testicles333]

sigur ros helps me eargasm every night

[Dimetrius777]

I'd add te' and Jeniferever, otherwise an awesome list.

[rice090]

Awesome!  I just started listening to Post-Rock and this has helped me get into the genre. I knew about God is an Astronaut and This Will Destroy You, but that's about it, until now.

[Zunesrthebest]

The first song makes me think of Lost in Translation for some reason

[PassionOfDenmark]

NICE UPLOAD!!!

For more post-rock inspiration search for this one:

The Inituition - Open Your Frozen Heart And Start Living Again (NEW 2011)

[HaphazardJoy]

65daysofstatic- "Radio Protector", nuff said.

[PastelXCore]

@HaphazardJoy anything 65

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

A lot of my favorite bands on this list, but not my favorite songs. Still great job though.

Here's my changes:

"The Moon is Down" Explosions in the Sky

"Storm" GY!BE

"Outer Inner and Secret" DMST

"Djed" Tortoise(maybe the greatest post rock song ever, actually)

I agree with you on "Cody" by Mogwai.

But where's Slint? Don't say they're not post rock. They are.

[zeedi0]

Great list. This Will Destroy you & Sigur Ros are incredible.

[Magist3r3]

What?! O.o

No GIAA in your playlist?!!!

[CrayTheFish]

youtube.com/watch?v=dDaIjpvieq­M guys check my songs, i am post rock artist, and i really need more attention :( thanks!

[janbeest]

Maybe a no. 11? MONO!!!

[janbeest]

Maybe a no. 11? MONO!!!

[janbeest]

Maybe a no. 11? MONO!!!

[janbeest]

Maybe a no 11? MONO!

[catormis]

Only over rated bands. Where is Robot, A.Armada, S.O.M.A, What The Blood Revealed, WhereAreYouLiam?, Others, Oracles Always Lie, New Century Classics, We're From Japan, Verticals, Ansaphone, Triple Smash, Transit, TotoRo, The Severely Departed, The Calm Blue Sea, Sympathy For Mr Park, Snezhinki, Saxon Shore, Satory Ray, Russian Circles, Red Sparowes, Lovely Girls Are Blind, I Am The Architect, Goonies Never Say Die, Flies Are Spies From Hell. Oh forgot that are just 10, post-rock is awesome!

[fizzgigify]

to those that say Sigur Ros isn't post rock, what genre would you put them in? I always thought of post rock as music with "rock" instruments (drums, electric guitars etc.) but without the traditional rock song structures. but really in the end, who cares about labels, all of these bands are freakin amazing.

[thepainbbm]

youre fucking right

all bands are awesome

gret choice

i would have done the same tracklist

[exstazyunior]

this list is actually pretty crap. good songs but nowhere near the best

[GalenSpring]

@exstazyunior then what are the best post rock bands?

[VivaEmptiness420]

nice choice for Mogwai. Cody is my fav song. i think sigur ros has better songs than that one though. personally i think Vaka might be their best. sigur ros is not mainstream post rock at all.... a lot of their stuff is very obscure. i'd say mogwai is more intro to post rock.

damn, i love Sigur Ros though, they are the best in my opinion. the vocals, the lyrical style, the bowed guitar, the ATMOSPHERE! brilliant.

[PassionOfDenmark]

Check out this new post rock song, search for:

The Inituition - Open Your Frozen Heart And Start Living Again (NEW 2011).

VERY STORMY AND MOVING!!

[CoCoBearYT]

We made God is also a great Icelandic band, you should check out Gizmo ;)

[jalepenomack]

If you want to find a great post-rock artist, look up "kings die like other men." The song is by metavari. These guys are great and I play them on my radio show all the time.

[ribenawrath]

I'm going to put a shout in here for Hecq and Subheim. You'll all love them :)

[vostdost]

number 1 is really number 1... but where is the God Speed.... Storm. :)

[deksterification]

what about BBF3?!

That shit is like heroin for your ears..

[michiviolenCe]

and what about 65daysofstatic?

[Mowzacakes]

@michiviolenCe

Not post rock

[laforet]

Sigur Ros?, they aren't post-rock

[deksterification]

@laforet Sigur Ros is about is as about as mainstream as Post Rock gets. Its like an introduction to Post Rock.

[laforet]

@deksterification I disagree, they don't sound like post-rock, buy maybe you have a point, it's kind of an introduction to de genre

[IamAlClover]

Absent Sound from Canada is a worthy listen,

youtube them!

[jesuslovescock1]

Awesome vid :-)

[The19dreams]

one of the best post rock band i discovered recently

Search "So above so below - Remembrance of things past"

:)

[lugented]

#9 and #5 are really cool

i had to download winter hymns.

[Merrylin]

Hey, if you like this you might dig this band ATOMIS. I just saw them live, and it was rad! Check them out here: atomis.bandcamp. com

[vodziuz]
