I've only listened to two so far: Slint's Spiderland and Sigur Rós' Ágætis byrjun.

Spiderland was amazing and it's now in my top 10.

Ágætis byrjun was quite good. I can see the attraction.

I also started to listen to Spirit Of Eden by Talk Talk but never finished for some reason.

Well, I think there's two major types of post-rock. There's the obvious ambient/relaxed post-rock, which there are many obvious bands to listen to- Sigur Ros, Talk Talk, Godspeed etc.- and then the hard, aggressive, math-rock bands.

If you want the long list by an expert, Tekin's post-rock list is great:

For my personalised selections:

For relaxed, one of my favourite post-rock bands is Bark Psychosis, with my favourite from them being ///Codename: Dustsucker. 400 Winters is a great song.

For the aggressive, there's Gangs by And so I Watch You From Afar and One Time For All Time by 65daysofstatic.

Slint is probably halfway between these two, which combines the best of both worlds for me, meaning it's my favourite post-rock album.

-Horse Stories - Dirty Three
-Vision Creation Newsun - Boredoms

taric and tekin each have custom charts dedicated to the genre, here's some of my personal favorites that might not be common in those charts or Defago's recs...

Ui - Sidelong
Jessamine - The Long Arm of Coincidence
Fontanelle - Fontanelle
Pram - Helium
Moonshake - Eva Luna
Laika - Sounds of the Satelites
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
To Rococo Rot - Veiculo
To Rococo Rot - The Amateur View
Ganger - Fore
Ganger - Hammock Style
Tarwater - 11/6 12/10
Kiln - Holo (does this even count?)

I'm still exploring the 'genre' myself, but its trashcan nature makes it really vast and amorphous. I'm not really the biggest fan of the post-hardcore or post-Lift-Yr-Skinny-Fists, crescendo-dependent sides of it, but if you like stuff like Tortoise, you should dig these.

I actually don't expect you to like most anything that's suggested though
