Mogwai. I love a lot of other post rock bands (Godspeed, Tortoise, Slint, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Fly Pan Am, Silver Mt Zion, Redjetson, etc), but no one can make me feel such emotions as Mogwai. It's incredible how they can make an absolutely beautiful song with only a repetitive piano pattern ("I Know You Are But What Am I?"), or create tension during minutes for a really brief but intense explosion ("Christmas Steps"). Everything's perfect about them, I really love them. Plus the blog on their website is hilarious
