* Music/{{Anathema}}

* Music/{{Mono}}

** Disco Inferno, an UrExample post-rock band, took this up a notch by transforming their instruments into samplers that could be triggered live.

* BoleroEffect: While this wasn't universally common among post-rock bands when the [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness genre was in its infancy]], it's nowadays considered one of the most noteworthy characteristics of the genre.

* Music/BritishSeaPower

* Music/OdeAndElegy (post-metal mixed with chamber music, choral music, modern classical, PostHardcore, and [{GenreBusting whatever else the band feels like mixing in]])

** 2012 - ''Music/TheSeer''

** Disco Inferno, an UrExample post-rock band, took this UpToEleven by transforming their instruments into samplers that could be triggered live.

* GenreBusting[=/=]NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Owing to its introspective and contemplative nature, its diverse instrumentation, and especially its heavy use of crescendi (the obvious compositional choice for building a song to an epic climax), post-rock mixes well with other genres, and it's an intrinsically experimental and avant-garde genre in the first place - in fact, it was itself an case of NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly before it was codified. Thus, it's extremely common to see post-rock fused with numerous other genres - the number of times the GenreBusting trope is potholed above probably provides a clue on this count.

* Music/AForestOfStars (mixed with BlackMetal, AvantGardeMetal, PsychedelicRock, and some elements of chamber music)

* Music/KayoDot (mixed with AvantGardeMetal and [[GenreBusting too many other genres to list]])

* Music/NeguraBunget (TropeCodifier for BlackMetal[=/=]PostRock fusions)

* Music/OdeAndElegy (post-metal mixed with chamber music, choral music, modern classical, PostHardcore, and whatever else the band feels like mixing in)

* Music/{{Slint}} (TropeMaker alongside Talk Talk)

* Music/{{Weakling}} (mixed with BlackMetal; arguable TropeMaker for BlackMetal and post-rock fusions, although Fleurety arguably performed them even earlier)

* EpicRocking: It's difficult to find a post-rock band that hasn't used this at least once. Twenty-minute-plus songs are a staple of the genre.

* NoHitWonder: Again, while many bands have received a fair amount of commercial success, hit singles aren't really the province of the genre. In the case of ''Music/KidA'', it was outright {{invoked|Trope}}; Radiohead deliberately chose not to release any singles or music videos for the album, instead opting for a series of "blips," short videos set to brief excerpts from the album. Despite this, several of the songs on the album became big enough fan-favorites to appear on their GreatestHitsAlbum (which, granted, was put together without their involvement and long after they left their original labels).
