And I am aware that "post rock" is a genre, I simply was asking what are the qualifications that place Sigur Rós in that genre, and whether simply searching for other "post rock" artists will actually yield the results I am seeking.
Okay, well in that case I would definitely try, as Exo said, looking for other Icelandic acts. You could also try looking for bands who are considered both post-rock and dream pop, as that's what makes Sigur Ros' sound unique to other post-rock acts, in my opinion at least.
