One of the greatest bands to ever form, GY!BE is really on an orchestral level featuring nine members. The most difficult band to listen in the genre, but they're more than worth it. I really, truly cannot put the beauty of this band into words; in no way could I do it justice. They take conventional rock instruments and use them in an orchestrated, classical way. It's unlike anything you've ever heard.

I can't recommend any songs because GY!BE are much more album-oriented band, but I beg you to pick up their 2000 magnum opus, LIft Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, it really made the post-rock genre peak too early. I just wish they would get back together.

New to post-rock? I recommend these bands before jumping into Godspeed:

Explosions In The Sky
Mogwai
65daysofstatic
Tortoise
Caspian
Dirty Three
Bark Psychosis
