Does anyone here listen exclusively (or pretty exclusively) to the "post-rock" genre?

A few example bands include:

Explosions In The Sky
M83
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The Album Leaf
Thievery Corporation
Tortoise
Spiritualized
Sigur Rós

And yadda yadda, so on and so forth..

Okay, I say, "Huh?" blink.gif What does the genre sound like (aka do they have MySpaces)?
forza
often times very symphonic, heavy instrumental / light vocal, ambient, chill music.

not sure about the myspace thing, though.
Kathleen
Ahh okay. Gotcha. I think.
no-name

SyKoKiNeSiS
Another old genre that's becoming trendy. Cool music though.

I listen to a large majority of that music, but not exclusively.

i like some post-rock, but i'm not the type of person who's generally specific (haha) about their music choices. =/

I don't give a crap about "Post-Rock". Listen to the real stuff.
Statues/Shadows
I wouldn't say I listen to it anywhere close to exclusively, but I do like it. The only ones on your list I don't listen to are Tortoise (because I don't especialy like them) and Spiritualized (because I've never heard of them).

Mm.. been getting into post rock lately, thanks to a close friend.

Of the list provided, I listen to Explosions In The Sky, the Album Leaf (one of my personal favorites), and Sigur Rós. Other than that, I have 65daysofstatic (<3), Athlete, Boards of Canada, Mogwai (<3), and Saxon Shore.

I actually saw Sigur Ros live in May. Amazing show.
This Confession
I've heard the Album Leaf. I actually liked them from what I recall, but I can't remember much of this genre of music I suppose you would say.
CLYDE
I had no idea Post-Rock was a genre until this very moment, but I enjoy Sigur Ros a lot.

Calming for the nerves.

So, I will gladly check out the bands that you included.
