the OP wants the better known post rock bands. That's post metal with extreme vocals.

Bossk are a good band - post metal, not rock though.
A more post rocky one from Bossk:

Tortoise (Millions Now Living Will Never Die and TNT), Mogwai (Happy Songs for Happy People and I love the Les Revennants soundtrack but that's in large part because I love the TV show), Sigur Ros' Agaetus Byrjun are my favourites.
While this PA top albums chart is for Post Rock and Math Rock, it may be worth checking out to aid in your exploration: CLICk And this rateyourmusic post rock chart: CLICk

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

There have been many good suggestions here (as far as I know them). Didn't see someone mention A Silver Mt Zion (and all their derivative names...). The singing on some tracks is an acquired taste, but after some time I acquired it and I personally prefer them over Godspeed You Black Emperor and over most of the other bands mentioned here. They may be a bit peculiar though to some...

Check out Scaphoid. Kind of a mix between prog rock and post rock.

Though I've grown out of post-rock for the last five years (grown tired of it  , a it's too repetitive or confined to its own space), two of the more original (as in inventive and inhabitual) were Tortoise and Sigur Ros.The others I would cite would be GYBE! (and its offshoots), Do Say Make Think and Tarentel I'm aware some will prefer vocals , so I'll point out Mogwaï and EitS

The albums that are said to have kicked off the genre are the last two Talk Talk albums, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, and Slint's Spiderland. I very warmly recommend all three. Bark Psychosis is another very early contributor to the genre, and very good. Tarentel's From Bone to Satellite is a classy album. I list all these having in mind some kind of similarity to the music of GYBE. Tortoise are in my view a core important post rock band, too, but their music is quite different in some respects.

I delved into post-rock around 2008-ish, listened for a few years intensely, but now rarely come back. Records I enjoyed the most - aside from early (true) GY!BE - were: The Evpatoria Report - Golevka (2005) Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss (2006) Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm (2004) Pelican - The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (2005) bold - most would consider these post-metal, Neurosis were kings of post-metal in those days. But try anyway! Other huge names in post-rock at that time were: Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, Mogwai, A Silver Mt. Zion and maybe Red Sparowes. So if you wanna feel the zeitgeist of 2000s and explore post-rock the way most people did, these bands are exemplary... although not my favorite! Too often I felt they're building songs on a same formula, over and over again, it didn't look honest really. I called them crescendocore. If you will enjoy Neurosis and Pelican, feel free to PM me, as I listened to so called post-metal with passion and maybe could recommend you some good stuff.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a good place to start. F♯ A♯ ∞ (pronounced "F-sharp, A-sharp, Infinity") or Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven are good albums to try out. This one can best be described as Tom Waits meets David Gilmour while watching a Spaghetti Western... |

Godspeed you black emperor is good. Have you heard Sigur Ros? I have the () and it's good but very mellow. I'm not really a post rock expert myself so will be paying attention to this thread myself. The Battles first album "mirrors" is good but it's more math rock though.

I know about the instrumental ones like Godspeed you black emperor and I
really like Swans' earlier material but I could never get into their
later albums.
