Extremely popular post-rock band from Montreal, Canada with such popular songs like "Moya", "The Dead Flag Blues" and "Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls". The band is known for creating very long, slow paced songs with complex song structures utilizing instruments such as guitars, drums, violins, keyboards and and array of pre-recorded sounds as well as speeches. Their longest song is "Providence" from their album entitled "F#A# Infinity" clocking in at 29:04. In the beginning of their career, they were known as "Godspeed You Black Emperor!", but the name was later changed to have the exclamation point after the word "You". The band got the name from a 1976 black and white Japanese documentary film about a Japanese biker gang known as "The Black Emperors". Their song "Moya" shares the same name of a former member of the band Mike Moya, who along with Efrim Menuck and Mauro Pezzente formed Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Moya left the band to pursue his own band called "Hrsta"; another post rock band residing in Montreal, Canada.

In all fairness, whether GYBE! is the best band ever or the worst bad ever in your opinion depends on how you feel about completely pure, drawn out music. The shortest song of theirs I know is almost 11 minutes long, and as far as I know, none of their music has been touched by synth pads or anything that's not an actual intsrument.

Godspeed You! Black Emporer (formerly Godspeed You Black Emporer!), is a Montreal-based post rock band. Their first full-length album, 'f# a# (infinity)', has 3 tracks totalling up to 1 hour. The tracklisting for 'f# a# (infinity)' goes as follows:
1) The Dead Flag Blues
2) East Hastings
3) Providence
They have more than just one record, however. GY!BE is well-known, but not in the 'popular music' way. They are on an indefinite hiadus, I believe.
