Joy Division
Who here likes the band Joy Division?
Joy Division were a Post-Punk band from the late 1970's to the very early 1980's.
They only released 2 albums: Unknown Pleasures (1979), and Closer (1980).
JD were about to tour the US, but that all changed after frontman Ian Curtis commited suicide at the age of 23.
After the death of Ian Curtis, the surviving members of Joy Division formed the New Wave band, New Order.
There is a movie about the life of Ian Curtis, called Control (2007). A british actor named Sam Riley portrays Curtis, and does a very brilliant job at it. The movie is filmed in Black and White.
So....any JD fans?

Nah .
Blue Monday by New Order is a sick song though, orgy did a good cover of it.

I didnt expect to be reading a post about Joy Division on a Godsmack forum, but happy to see Godsmack fans who appreciate other types of music!
I was still at school when Joy Division were touring, but saw New Order live several times in the early 80s.
Last year original Joy Division/New order bass player Peter Hook quit New Order to form his own Joy Division tribute band called The Light, i saw them live last year and they were really good.
"Peaceful journeys"!! -

Well, even though I mostly listen to hard, heavy, aggressive, angry music, I also like to listen to SOME soft, mellow stuff every once in awhile.
Other than JD, I also like The Moody Blues, New Order, Coldplay, Elton John, Billy Joel, and a few others.
I listen to those artists sometimes just to take a break from all the heavy stuff that I mostly listen to. Makes my music taste seem a bit more eclectic.
If I had to describe my music taste in another word, I would say BiPolar.
