i was trying to imagine a post rock chart number 1 that wouldn't suck and was stumped, bark psychosis is a great suggestion

post rock is fucking weird cause on one hand you've got tight ass shit like hex, laughing stock and spiderland but then for some reason the other 95% of it just sounds like explosions in the sky
|

i think hex laughing stock and spiderland would have to be the whole damn fucking chart

on that basis a post rock chart of the 10 or so good albums in the genre isn't the worst idea
you'd need tnt and idk, flood, to round it off

i guess maybe some don cab and tortoise

codename dustrucker > hex
but agreed those + laughing stock + spiderland + skinny fists + either takk or ( ) and you can pretty much call post-rock complete.
|

Cant get on board with any do make say think, skinny fists, or any sigur ros of any sort. Not in my cereal chief!

haven't listened to a sigur ros album in its entirety in years, but my ratings are all q generous. discog binge time.
|

Lol yeah without getting too liberal including stereolab or boris I'd probably vote for laughing stock, hex, spiderland, american don, millions now living..., and maybe even fly pan am s/t
|
| |
Dude discog binging sigur ros sounds like a great way to become suicidal
|

wb Earth or Cul de Sac

nah, it's prescribed listening for self-care circles
never jammed fly pan am, that can be my light at the end of the tunnel (better be good)
|

I'd put Earth in the "liberal" camp. If you want to include stuff that straddles the line between drone and post rock or post rock and post metal it really opens this up

DMST agreed but i'm a softie for godspeed and sigur, though my strong love for them stems mainly from only three albums each (f#a#, skinny fists, yanqui + agaetis, ( ), takk). don't mind the rest but only find myself returning to those three, respectively.
However skinny fists and takk would rank highly among my all time favorites. No matter, Spiderland and Laughing Stock rank above both of them in any case.
Also according to RYM charts, many Swans albums are apparently classified as post-rock (SFTB, To Be Kind, The Seer, Glowing Man) as well as a couple Boris albums (Flood, Feedbacker). Not sure I really agree with any of those classifications, or at least not enough to boldly slap them anywhere on my theoretical personal post-rock chart. Oy vey.

I dont mind godspeed, I saw them live and it was undeniably touching, but one of my hotter takes is that lysf isnt even a contender for best godspeed. Having said that I still never have any desire to listen to even f#
|
| |
But yeah if you get liberal after boris and earth you can get swans in there too and then at that point you might as well start mentioning everything from nadja to neurosis
|
| |
i enjoy a fair bit of post-rock tbh but its not something i listen to at all often, the math rockier side is def more interesting and engaging
saying that im a sucker for post-skramza and the occasional crescendocore - yndi halda and god is an astronaut spring to mind
