7 Is Bjork Post-Rock?

[edit] Boards Of Canada

Boards Of Canada dont belong here either, the way they use instruments, compose and their sound is not what would be called post-rock. They are better placed in a list of ambient or electronic groups. -Itmplyurvyld

[edit] American Analog Set

I think most will agree that the American Analog Set definitely does not belong on this list. I removed them. -keremm

Check out "post rock" at All Music Guide. Since the group's style is defined as ambient-space rock, the listing is valid... Folajimi 11:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

All Music does not specifically list them as post-rock though. They just happen to share some of the same arbitrary adjectives with the genre. Moreover, they don't sound much like any of the bands that AMG specifically lists as post-rock. Keremm 18:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy Guerrero

By what strange definition of post rock is Tommy Guerrero included? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.255.47.148 (talk • contribs).

Well, don't just stand there — do something! ;) --Folajimi 16:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Raison d'être

Now that I think of it, what is the purpose of this list? After all, the post-rock groups category seems to be more comprehensive, and is perhaps a more prudent way to raise the issues which have been discussed here.

In other words, the concerns raised here would be better addressed on the talk page of the subjects in question. --Folajimi 14:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country

Just something minor. Should we keep the locations as countries only? Or should cities/states or provinces be included as well? I personally prefer simply listing the countries, for more details people can view the specific Wiki article. Right now with all the specific city/state/province the page is getting quite messy to view. Specificity should not be the purpose of this post rock list. 24.87.7.121 02:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Raison d'être

The page only incudes bands that have a Wiki page. Bands that do not have a Wiki page are not listed in, but are in List of Post Rock Bands. The List of Post Rock Bands page might raise awareness which might lead to future Wiki article creations. 24.87.7.121 02:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
