I wish post-rock was split in two
nuisance:
Yeah, I've read that wiki before, it clarifies nothing for me beyond my feeling that the term has changed incredibly. I could find nothing in there that distinguishes MBV from Mogwai. FWIW, I think I've listened to about 80% of the artists mentioned on that page, so I disagree that you can just "feel" the term.
Have you heard any of the groups mentioned in Reynolds' article? This is where the term post-rock was coined, and it's all about how groups interface with technology, reject the live band approach, etc. Electronics. Check out something like Disco Inferno, who sing songs over a jammed mess of musical and concrete samples, and tell me how that relates to Iceland's answer to U2.
Sorry, I know this is pointless, I'll stop.
(Man, Seefeel were awesome...)
greenMonkey:
Yeah. Arguing over genres is pointless. Call music whatever you want to call it.
Skittish:
I think every genre expands so much at some point that it can't even really be considered the same as what it was years ago. That's why I use genre terms loosely when describing bands.

--- Quote from: JLM ---I will dispute applying the label Post-Rock to Slint up until I reach the grave. They always seemed much more grounded in Hardcore to me...a lot more post-punk than post-rock.
which, since they're considered godfathers of post-rock, would make GY!BE and Mogwai post-post-rock or post-punk-rock-post-rock, and The Album Leaf more of a post-post-indie-electronic-folk-rock.
In fact, by even posting about post-post rock in a post-rock thread, I'm posting a post-post post about post-rock that's really post-post rock.
post.

Ho. That is impressive.
Any opinions on the best "post-rock" groups?
greenMonkey:
Which era, 'classic post-rock' (E.g. Slint, Tortoise) or 'new post-rock' (E.g. Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky)?
Actually the ones I listed there are pretty good I think.
