If I could only have on Mogwai album to listen to ever again, I wouldn't even hesitate to chose "Happy Songs.." It's probably their only album that I listen to from start to finish without skipping anything and never feeling the urger to.

Godspeed's "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" is not getting enough attention.

Lift Yr Skinny Fists... is so obviously GY!BE's best album that I don't think it even needs mentioning.

It is interesting to me that I never listen to F#A#oo anymore because, on reflection, it's actually a pretty boring album except for the intro and the end of "Slow Moving Trains/The Cowboy".

That certainly is true, but it's hard not to mention the closing to Antennas to Heaven.
Seriously, whatever that instrument is (bagpipes with delay?), it's incredible.

Also, the chart that comes with that album is a beautiful thing.  All orchestral-type post-rock bands should include charts.

See, that's another great thing about GY!BE and ASMZ: the packaging and inserts. You get some really interesting stuff from those bands.
