Also, I've found listening to each artist whilst reading is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the experience.

I'm interested.

I do think it's funny though that the majority of bands mentioned hate the term post rock.

Ive always found the term post rock weird, seems to be ablanket term for a wide array of instrumental bands or otherwise hard to classify bands. Even those five bands you listed dont have a lot in common besides all being varying degrees of great.
