Post-Rock

For all you Post-Rock fans out there you will know that there is a huge and diverse range out in the world. I enjoy almost all of it with the exceptions of some miss-labelled bands who are crap in both genres any (cough* MOGWAI, DO MAY SAY THINK). But for some unknown reason, even unknown to me, i want to expunge my knowledge of post-rock and break bands up into subsets of the epic genre to better classify these bands.

All criticism is welcomed. (related to the categorising Eddie).

Upper Echelon-

Bands who redefine post-rock, the bands that produce the most thought provoking music ever made.

1. Godspeed You! Black Emperor, clearly the best and most amazing.

2. Sigur Ros, take the genre and push the gentle genre beyond its boundaries.

3. Fly Pan Am, band that takes you on an uncontrollable ride.

Middle Echelon-

Bands who are very similar to the lower section but do the same thing only better.

If These Trees Could Talk

La Verite

Mono

This Will Destroy You

Yndi Halda

Lower Echelon-

Bands who perform the genre to there own extents of melody and climax, amazing but still not anywhere near the Upper area. Bulk of Post-Rock bands fall into this section.
