Off the top of my head, five albums I really like:
Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
White Light / White Heat - Velvet Underground
Spiderland - Slint
Road to the Riches - Kool G Rap
Exai - Autechre
What do I think of post-rock? Is that like asking what someone thinks of hip hop or techno, or Christian contemporary? It's just a way of doing things.
If one is gonna split hairs, most bands pidgeon-holed as post-rock come under the math- rock moniker (Slint, Rodan, June of '44 - all that Louisville stuff), while post-rock as defined and named by Simon Reynolds in the wire is for stuff like Bark Psychosis and late Talk Talk (Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock): using the general instruments of rock music to make something different, rather than building upon Red by King Crimson to produce highly-complex punk/hardcore
@ComfyAko It's really difficult for me to answer, because i listened to so many bands in recent years..but if i had to pin it down to just a couple of albums that i enjoy a lot listening to, those would be the following:
-Evanescence: Fallen
-My Chemical Romance: Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
-Disturbed: The Sickness
-Tiamat: The Astral Sleep
-Katatonia: The Great Cold Distance
As for post-rock i really don't have an opinion to contribute, since i mostly listen to subgenres of metal. Having given though a listen to the video you provided, i'd say i pretty much dig it

@ComfyAko I'm never really sure what defines post-rock (or indeed most sub-genres), but watching that video and looking up a Wikipedia list of of post rock band, it seems I'm a huge fan! Particular favourites are Godspeed you Black Emperor and Mogwai - saw them both live recently too.
Current favourite albums (probably changes weekly):
Peace Sword : The Flaming Lips
G_d's Pee AT THE STATES END!: Godspeed you Black Emperor
King for A Day, Fool for a Lifetime: Faith No More
