Sigur Rós - Takk
Amazing album from an amazing icelandic post-rock band. The band has classified their sound as being "slow-motion rock", which fits pretty well when hearing and seeing their songs/videos. Unlike bands like GY!BE, Sigur Rós makes very uplifting music with very unique instruments. For some of their other albums they have some tribal drumming and lyrics spoken in their own made up language called "hopelandic", which is based off of icelandic. Several of their songs are featured in movies and tons of memorial videos using "Hoppípolla."

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯A♯∞
A cornerstone band in the post-rock genre. Hailing from Montreal, GY!BE revolutionized the post-rock sound, starting off another unique wave. There are only three songs on this album, but they're sectioned off into different parts. Like other post-rock bands, the songs feature long drawn out crescendos, but with a unique "The world is ending." kind of feel.
