A band with only two full length albums due to lead singer lan Curtis' passing way before there third album was recorded. They have a bunch of songs that are some of there best that didn’t appear on there two full length albums like there most famous song pick number 3 above along with this bonus pick below ⬇️ the song Transmission!
Or a song like Warsaw which was recorded in 1977 when they were just a simple punk band without a album out ⬇️
A band that 100% would have been huge and in the mix of other bands from this scene in late seventies who made it big by the mid eighties.
The surviving three members started the band New Order. You can hear the Joy Division vibes on there 1981 album but by mid eighties they were putting out synth pop tunes. Here’s the official bonus jam New Orders classic song Blue Monday (1987) which definitely has a Joy Division vibe!
