Spamue1G: The Essential Post Rock...

Spamue1G 11.22.08	Stupid Godspeed You! album won't show up... Oh well, tell me what you think of the list, what are the essential post rock albums, blah blah blah...
Mendigo 11.22.08	whenever there are some stranger symbols in an albums name (or even just a ' ) the album doesn't show up - but you can use the html code for showing certain symbols. Unicode book tells you all the codes for every symbol there is I believe. haven't heard 4&5, but the first three are all great (especially 3) the essentials are imo (the first four are absolute must-haves, the rest I do love as well): Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden Sigur Ros - Agaetis byrjun Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Mogwai - Young Team A Silver Mount Zion - "This Is Our Punk-Rock, Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing" Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss Pelican - Australasia (though it's more like Post-Metal) Slint - Spiderland
robin 11.22.08	some really awesome ones to get you on your way: lights out asia - eyes like brontide; a really phenomonal post-rock album released this year that mixes ambience and postrock but both in a more captivating way than both usually are, and with some vocals in the mix which are really perfectly done jaga jazzist - what we must; don't really know h ow to explain it differently, post/nu/whatever jazzy stuff really. if you like this you should also get talk talk's laughing stock, cause that is a must have and if you like godspeed you alot, check out the ascent of everest, who mimick them but in a really catchy way for the newcomer.
robin 11.22.08	also, if you liked the earth is not a cold dead place, get their ep - the rescue. it's probably the only worthwhile thing they've done in my opinion, but it's really awesome.
thebhoy 11.22.08	Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn Do Make Say Think - You, You're A History in Rust Your list and Mendigo's comment pretty much cover the rest.
