Joy Division
Joy Division virtually defined the term "post-punk." They combined punk's rawness and iconoclasm with an artier sensibility that encompassed poetic lyrics, existentialism, and a dark moody mix of guitars and keyboards that was a major influence on goth and industrial music. After singer Ian Curtis's suicide in 1980, the rest of the band went on to even greater success as the poppier, more electronic-oriented New Order. Although they burned brief, their indelible imprint revived over two decades later as inspiration for a whole movement of indie rock on both sides of the ocean.

So, when I made this songlist, I erred on the side of pop-centricity, and I left out most songs with any sort of rock sensibility. Although I did pick about a dozen songs sight-unheard as it were because I know you like the artist.... Hope you like it!
