What?

Also Locust Star instead of Through Silver in Blood (but Locust Star is actually so fucking good where's that dude who doesn't like Neurosis).

Or Times of Grace, or Sun that Never Sets or....

Good? yes. Better? no.

All Mogwai is good Mogwai.

Better ? Yes, probably.

Look, The Hawk is Howling is their best album and if you don't agree I will hunt you down in two weeks time.

At least we can all agree on this.

My Father My King is their best album son please.

Hah, but that's a recent album. Am I missing something ?
And my favourite is probably Mr Beast anyway (Rave Tapes and Hardcore Will blablablah would be contenders too)...

Okay, first off, yes, we can all agree on that.

Second off, now I don't even feel bad. Even if I was gonna pick an old one as my favourite it wouldn't be Hawk Is Howling, it would be either Happy Songs or Come On Die Young.

FYI, I haven't heard Zidane or Atomic. I fucking love Les Revenants though, both the album and the series. The series is the most artful horror series I've ever seen. American remake is needless, as always. What is it about Americans? Can't they sit through a subtitled show an hour a week? I digress. Completely subjectively, that's my favourite. But Hardcore is pretty close.

I'm listening to a few songs off Atomic now and it's not great. Kindof NIN-lite.

While I in no way dispute Jack Chuter's knowledge of post-rock and think that he really does know what he's talking about, someone pointed out there's no Talk Talk and I agree it's a shame. And putting Do Make Say Think on there, but not Godspeed You! or Silver Mt. Zion? And where's the High Llamas' Hawaii? That was a noteworthy album... anyway. I know he can't fit everything on there but those seem like conspicuous absences.

And what, no Sigur Ros?! Crazy man.

i mean, if you were to read the book it would probably deal with all of that. there's no way you could please everybody with such a tiny playlist so i figure it's best to stop at 'at least there aren't any shit bands on it'.
i like GYBE and Sigur Ros are... tolerable, but i can see how those bands might have no personal significance to other people interested in the roots of post-rock.

Setting the standard. And should be unanimously sig'd by all.

This thread convinced me to finally check out Slint, and for that I am eternally grateful.
