favorites, I'd say:
paik
morkobot
65 days of static

if those qualify in the "category".

i like a lot early mono and mogwai outputs, i like eits.
june of '44 ?
I like now defunct The Sea, Like Lead.
Giardini di mirň were really nice, especially live, but their more song-oriented latest album, hmmm, I don't like much.
red sparowes are really good.
September malevolence and evaptoria report are quite nice.
The Low Frequency in stereo have some nice songs.
Tortoise are great on many occasions.
Dianogah are nice.
ultraviolet makes me sick are nice too.
anoice are reaaaally nice too.

Tie between Slint, Talk Talk, Tortoise, and Sigur Rós.

I'd put Stereolab in there as well, but I'm not sure if they're considered "post-rock." I've heard people call them such before, though.

A certain slice of Cul de Sac.

I loathe the term "post rock" though, and most of this music can easily verge toward the sterile or the saccharine very easily.
I don't think Flying Saucer Attack are post-rock in the least.

Well, the term was originally coined by Simon Reynolds to describe bands like them, Main etc etc, so I just thought that they'd deserve a mention because I also happen to like their music. Rubbish way of describing music, mind. I'm not entirely sure about Bark Psychosis being a post rock band as such either.

I'll add Hood to my list as I've just seen them referred to as post-rock.

I know these guys personally, the bass player Richard is a very nice person.

Tortoise. The genre was invented to describe them after all. Slint to me are a post-punk band, though that doesn't make them any less awesome.

gmku 12.18.2007 10:30 PM

the Stones

Sorry, but that's simply not true, even though Tortoise were, at one point, the band that you immediately thought of (perhaps with Mogwai too) when you heard the term post-rock.
