Which is your favorite?

(and btw, if you want to argue about what is 'progressive post-hardcore' and clash over genres, take it somewhere else. i'm open for discussion, but just choose the band you enjoy the most, and state why)

these are just the ones i thought of off the top of my head, sorry if i excluded some good ones, already regret not including Facing New York. oh well.

Check out The Cancer Conspiracy.

I'd probably go with The Mars Volta from this list, but I haven't heard a lot of them.

Instrumental post/prog/math-rock is about the best I can do as far as describing it.

Get the album The Audio Medium.

Circa Survive, Mew, At the Drive-In, Bear Vs. Shark. Some others on there are good too, but not as good.

no Small Leaks Sink Ships? :(

EDIT: nevermind, they don't even lean to the post-hardcore genre.

Out of these I'd go with The Mars Volta...but I also voted for Circa, Coheed, and At the Drive-In.

as expected Circa, ATDI, and Coheed top the list so far, surprised at least one person remembered YouInSeries, that band fucking shredded.

My favorites are La Dispute, Bear vs. Shark, and Closure in Moscow, although there are a bunch of good bands here.

i guess i coulda put Native up there. oh well. they're not really progressive, more math oriented, but then so is La Dispute and This Town

I can't agree that This Town Needs Guns is post-hardcore but they're probably my favorite. Harvard is a very close second, and I don't agree with the genre on that one either.

And all I said was that I didn't agree at all. I'm not fighting anyone about it, though I do think almost the entire list is a little ill-picked for 'post-hardcore'. But in the end, I don't really care because genres are so hard to assign nowadays anyway.

this town is pretty much a math rock indie band, but i through them in w/the rest. that's the best way i can describe them. no big deal.

Speaking of indie/math rock, have you heard Pharaohs? They're British and a little poppier than TTNG, but they're amazing.

prog rock is definitely one of my favorite genres

i like a handful of bands on this list but i just can't turn down the Mars Volta. they win for me, hands down.

EDIT: I'd throw RX Bandits on this list too. pretty darn good.

link?

edit: i've noticed a lot of british bands happen to be math rock / math rock leaning. is that because of Foals' success? i've always wondered.

shit man, i knew i forgot something. sorry bud.
as for TMV, definitely the best on the list, after all they pretty much invented the genre w/Coheed, The Fall of Troy and Circa, in my opinion

No, it was http://www.myspace.com/pharaohstheband

The 'a' and 'o' in 'pharaohs' were switched in the original one.

good. this is 100 x better than the one i found.

edit: yeah the vocals are beyond nasally for me, but they have the right idea. wish they'd push the math tendencies more, but good shit, could get into it.
