The Fall of Troy have some pretty great qualities. Their guitarist is ridiculously skilled, and for being pretty poppy, they have some good tunes.

While I hate the vocal style, I love their constant changing of time signatures, and cool beats. In short, I like the band for their technical qualities.
Now, Refused, I just like because they're awesome.

I can't believe I never mentioned Kid Dynamite nor Paint it Black in this thread.

I would consider Converge posthardcore because their sound has moved beyond hardcore and their lyrics tend to be more emotional than your average hardcore band. I also include Modern Life Is War (probably unfairly) and Circle Takes the Square (more fairly termed screamo).
Then again most genres are quite subjective.
Bands like MLIW are doing amazing things with hardcore and it's not necessarily "postifying" it.

Circle Takes The Square! Now that's a hardcore band doing something new and exciting. Thanks, you have succeeded in proving me wrong that my beloved core is becoming moribund. They really need to do a new record though.
I see what you mean about Converge, particularly on the last couple of records, but what about tracks like Homewrecker or going back Buried But Breathing? They're pretty traditional hardcore, so I always think of them as widening the scope of the genre rather than moving beyond it (rather like CTTS).

I love Cursive! I was going to see them recently, but I had to cancel those plans because of like, papers being due and that garbage.
