Spock's Beard is the band I want to see out of this tournament the most. So... Godspeed it is.

This is very easy for me.  I like Godspeed and don't like Spock's Beard.

This is very easy for me too - not a fan of either group, so no vote. LOL

Godspeed is undeniably the more original of the two, but I've always enjoyed Spock's more than them.

I've never seen the appeal in Spock's Beard.
GY!BE is one of my top 3 in the tournament.

Tough choice Wink

No, easy choice - Spock's Beard


......and I think you'll find that Talk Talk were there a lot earlier with the "Post Rock" thing (whatever it means).

Godspeed all the way. I've simply never seen the appeal in SB, despite giving them the very best of chances.

This, but in reverse, love Spock's Beard, tried repeatedly to enjoy 'Raise your Skinny Fists. . . ' but failed.  My vote goes for the Beard

Ha! You got there before me with this comment.

Frankly, in the long run, I find that you can't beat a good tune rather than ambient noodling Wink

What a strange pair. I vote for GY!BE, just because Spock's Beard annoys me so much.

Spirit Of Eden was Proto-Post Rock for sure, and an incredible album. But GY!BE are the main influence for most of todays Post Rock.

I've had this argument with a few people before. Talk Talk, Slint, and Tortoise are definitely full on post rock IMO. First wave post rock. 10 minute crescendos are not the defining factor of the genre
