To those of you who write post-rock, what non-post-rock artists do you listen to for inspiration?

Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Mono, and Do Make Say Think are post-rock bands I feel my band draws a lot from, but I feel I get more inspiration for writing by listening to bands considered outside the post-rock genre. Botch, The Mars Volta, Envy (Japan), Circle Takes the Square, Typhoon (Portland, OR), Bon Iver, and Built to Spill (from my hometown) seem to inform my writing at least as much as any post-rock band.
