The seminal greatness of this group is needless to emphasize; Joy Division, with their minimalism—so far removed from iconoclastic and "flashy" bands like Bauhaus or Virgin Prunes—changed the history of rock, creating a unique and unmistakable blend. I will always be grateful to Ian Curtis for his sensitivity, greatness, and humanity in knowing how to transform art into something epidermal. Thank you, Ian.

Joy Division

Joy Division were an English post-punk band formed in the late 1970s (Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris). They released two studio albums, Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). After the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis in May 1980 the remaining members later formed New Order.
