Listen to Untitled 8, loud, and tell me one of the greatest build ups of all time doesn't fill your heart with light.

Riverside. My relationship with Sigur Ros has left me somehow quite empty, but I will follow your advice re Untitled 8.

Amazing. Whichever band I vote for, you choose the exact opposite!
 
I guess anyone who likes The Cardiacs and Robert Fripp isn't going to share my taste in a million years.
 
Riverside for me, though some Sigur Ros is wonderful.

I don't really have a music taste, I just hack your computer and see the music you're listening to, and then choose the exact oppositeSmile

Riverside.  Listening to SLS right now!
Though I love SR as well.  Well, maybe not their last album, but...

Definitely Sigur Ros. Riverside is great but they can't match the beauty of the greatest post-rock band of all time.

Sigur Ros is the best of post-rock. Riverside isn't best of anything.

Very difficult, but went with Sigur Ros. They changed the face of post rock, Riverside didn't really change prog metal all that  much, but they are one of the best examples of it.
