Can anyone think of a band that went on 'Hiatus' and actually returned? I need specific proof of the usage of this word to deem an answer as correct.

I suppose I have no right to make such a sweeping statement either, since I am hardly an expert on any form of music. I have always thought of them as the defining post-rock band in my opinion though. There's just something about Godspeed that seems to sum up what post-rock is whenever I listen to it.

That is just because you are using the narrow definition of post-rock, which in fact is "bands that sound like GY!BE or Mogwai".
Listen to Flying Saucer Attack sometime.

I think we've finished ragging on those who haven't listened as far back as some others have. I could say that Slint started the movement. I could say that Talk Talk, Bark Psychosis, Disco Inferno, or Cul de Sac influenced the genre (Cul de Sac are pretty great.) but there would be no point. Hell, I could say that The Velvet Underground started post-rock (Apparently they influenced EVERYTHING. What the hell, music journalists?) but...sorry, I'm done. I made my point (hopefully).
Also, where is this stuff? We should get to uploading all of these 'post-rock influences' for the mediafire thread instead of just making claims on their credibility.
Zero, can I have some Flying Saucer Attack? Please?

Nah, I was fine with it. Really. Not crying.
I didn't really like Yanqui that much either.

It has nothing to do with timeline; there is still post-rock being made that does not sound like GY!BE.
I just do not approve of having an entire genre name reserved for bands that sound like them.
That would be like saying "The Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria pretty much define modern prog rock".
