A lot of acoustic guitar that reminded me of old Pink Floyd

@Pfuzylogic yeah, but somehow most of Pink Floyd's stuff just don't do it for me.. then again, I don't really listen to them that much.. or at all.

@SW-User more from Ummagamma
Everything after Darkside of the Moon became Pop Hard Rock. It was a bit manufactured.

@Pfuzylogic Just listened to that for a bit, still sounded more like traditional rock but experimental, which is nice, but not my thing and nowhere as good as post rock. :)

@SW-User This Post Rock is an interesting concept. It seems to be non electrical. I heard one selection with three drums that reminded me of the Grateful Dead. Is this a cohesive musical movement with leaders or is it a collection of groups that sound similar?

@Pfuzylogic It can be both electrical and ambient. Slow and fast, depends on what other genres are mixed with it. It takes a lot from other genres, and it is quite experimental. I'm not sure what you mean by "leaders" but there are pioneers in the genre, and some bands who reach enough popularity outside of the Post Rock fanbase; Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed you Black Emperor, are some of them.
I can't quite explain it, it's something the more you hear, the more you can recognize, I guess. Most often instrumental, sometimes contains vocals. Always transcendent.

I was good until the last word.
Transcendent can be a very tricky word like progressive and experimental.
The latter two words were applied to groups like Yes and King Ceimson.
There are a lot of connotations associated with the term transcendent!

I'm not really familiar with those groups, and well, "transcendent" is just a personal descriptive of mine, I've heard other people use other words; heavenly, ethereal, wonderful, etc. The common denominator between all those is that - and I'm gonna use a really cheesy word here, don't hold it against me lol - the music is.. well.. magical. It lifts you up to new places, it gets you high. I understand that can be achieved with other genres for other people, but to me, only Post Rock gets me to this place of spiritual euphoria, and I dare say my opinion of this goes beyond being merely subjective, but that remains just an opinion about an opinion. :)
