| | Joy Division |
 | | For a band that was to release only one album before the death of its lead singer, Joy Division has had an incredible influence on the past 15 years of popular music. |
 | | Joy Division's dark, atmospheric sound would be echoed in the work of such acts as the Cure,, Echo and the Bunnymen, and more recently Nine Inch Nails, not to mention the countless gothic bands that have tried to imitate Joy Division's pounding drums, dreamy guitar, and Ian Curtis' distant vocal style. |
 | | Joy Division's genius can be heard most directly in the works of the remaining members of the band, who have been hugely successful under the name New Order. |
