Not entirely sure how Swans got in as Post Rock.  Maybe because there wasn't a category for Music To Slit Your Wrists To Rock.  Anyway this is not meant to be a comprehensive poll but about artists that I do have in my collection.  Inspired by running across Mono Holy Ground NYC Live while updating my Chronolizer and found it came with a DVD that I had forgotten about and am now watching and enjoying.  BTW I've heard a lot of good word about Godspeed but I just don't happen to have any.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Could it be that you haven't checked out the Swans-trilogy post their comeback-album?

Generic Post Rock like Explosions in the Sky feels like an updated version of Shadow Music (=the armada of bands worldwide playing guitar led instrumental rock resemling The Shadows).

Mono definitely from this list.  I do love the most recent Swans albums too.

I only know three Swans albums well, Soundtracks for the Blind, To Be Kind and The Seer, but I enjoy those and will give Swans a vote. I haven't explored post-rock that deeply, but Swans has been one of my particular favourites of what fairly little I do know. Tortoise has been a particular favourite (I have tended to like the more experimental rock ones).

I'm not really a fan of any of these but I guess I've enjoyed Maserati the best from what I've heard

I think each of these bands has some great music, as well as some not-so-great music. Hard to vote.

Godspeed (YBE) and Silver Mt Zion, on the other hand, are among my favourite bands, and I would vote for them over most others.

if Swans is post-rock then King Crimson is metal

from actual post-rock bands - Mono

Shadow Music > Crescendocore
