I started getting into Sigur Ros a few months ago, and I think they've replaced Radiohead as my favorite band. I really like this Post Rock stuff. Does anyone know any good Post Rock bands or albums that aren't by sigur ros that I should check out?
Godspeed You Black Emperor made some great albums, my favourites being F# A# (Infinity) and Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, but I wouldn't rate them as highly as the two bands you mentioned!

I highly recommend Mogwai. I have Young Team and Rock Action physically. Young Team is probably a key album for them.
Two Aussie post-rock bands to listen to are Dirty Three (includes members of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and Decoder Ring. Dirty Three's self titled and Decoder Ring's Fractions are good ones to try.
What's post rock? Does it sound like Signor Ros or does it cover much more?
It's a pretty broad genre that goes into ambient, jazz, electronica, and experimental into it's sound. It's hard to explain, the Wikipedia article is pretty good:
Sigur Ros is probably one of the most prominent post-rock artists, they make dramatic and very exciting music. I really don't have a lot of post-rock in my library, Godspeed You! Black Emperor is another I have, it's all pretty good.
