for a sec it sounded like you meant that all post rock bands except for Isis, Neurosis and Cult of Luna were pretentious.
I was deeply shocked!

I wouldn't call it pretentious. Almost all post-rock is minimalistic and I don't think they're making that music to try and sound intellectual or something

Most post-rock is boring and sounds the same all the time but there are a few good bands.

Sigur Rós is kinda cute, i enjoy them in small doses, but they certainly are more overrated than the bible itself.
GY!BE is a sweet band, but only the 1st album is 100% fantastic, the rest of their shit is cool too, but it's a bit messy and not very consistent.

just for the record, Simon Reynolds was the first one to use the term postrock in his review of Bark Psychosis - Hex (1994)
noone mentioned Tortoise, they are more experimental and mix jazz influences also.
kudos for mentioning God Is An Astronaut
Caspian - The Four Trees is a nice one
Mogwai's newest, entitled The Hawk Is Howling, should be out in autumn 2008

I'll have to read carefully this thread, 'cos I'd like to know more of this stuff.
I saw 65daysofstatic early this month, supporting The Cure and liked 'em a lot. Man, I didn't know they played that kind of music. Thought about a nu metal band or something like that. I've heard they're touring as headliners soon again and would like to catch 'em again.
I'm gonna see live even Explosions in the Sky in a couple of months, but unfortunately have heard only - so to say, for is such a beautiful record - 'The earth is not a cold dead place', that is dated 2003! So maybe when I'm at the show, I can get something more. I also like their covers artwork very much.
And tomorrow night I'm gonna see Editors. I think there is something post-rock even in their proposal.

How about "Meanwhile, back in Communist Russia" ? I've been into these guys lately, i think it's worth the trip.
