And why is it Godspeed You! Black Emperor?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, name a band that has consistently put out 6 incredible projects, be the all time best in their genre (Swans can be debatable), and completely ruin the genre too, because of third wave copycat bands.
I've never listened to them before because of the exclamation point in the name annoys me so much, but now I think I might finally try them.
Where do I start?
>>69045347
From the beginning of their discography (seriously).
>>69045246
pretty spot on senpai
>>69045347
Start with their second album and go chronologically.
>>69045347
start with All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling.

All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling
>>69045246
Led Zeppelin ruined blues rock for everyone else
>>69045246
Explosions in the Sky ruined post-rock
>>69045347
If you don't listen to All Lights Fucked you will miss important context so that's a must listen to start
What do you guys listen to while driving, and what can you recommend? I'll try just about anything, honestly.

Mladic, then I get road rage and drive 30 over.

The Dead Flag Blues

I'll be listening to the whole discography on an 11 hour drive in december.

The problem with GY!BE is that they only really focus on one single dynamic, which they're good at, but at times it can feel like it's all the same thing. I'm not saying that they need to do a complete 180 and start making music differently, but it would be nice if their approach was different, like what they did with a Silver Mt. Zion (although they tended to sound similar as well).

That's easy, John Fahey.
Death Chants, Breakdowns, and Military Waltzes
Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death
Requia
The Yellow Princess
America
Fare Foward Voyagers
>>69045347
Start with Slow Riot from New Zero Kanada. That's a perfect intro since it gives you a taste of the album they did before (F#a#infinity) and the album they would do after (Lift Your Skinny Fists). If you liked Moya more, go to Skinny Fists, if you liked BBF3 more, go to F#a#infinity.
