Joy Division

A music band that existed back in 1977-1980.Released two albums: "Unknown Pleasures" and "Closer".Most known song is "Love will tear us apart".Played gloomy goth rock, post punk, new wave style. Think of The Cure only Joy Division is more depressive.Ended up because lead singer of the band, Ian Curtis, who suffered from epilepsy and depression, commited suicide by hanging in 1980 May 18th (at the age of 24).This band is not so known but their influence to the whole goth, post punk and new wave music was tremendous.If you are goth and don't know this band, shame on you. I'm not goth but still know it."His second (and final) album with Joy Division - 'Closer' - is considered one of the darkest and most haunting albums in music history. The lyrics largely document Curtis's emotional turmoil leading up to his suicide." -us.imdb.com

one of the best and most influential bands of all time.

Joy Division's (best musical group ever c. 1977-1980) widely known song, "Love Will Tear Us Apart", is partly a tongue in cheek response from Ian Curtis (lead singer and lyricist) to the sappy sweet popular tune by Captain & Tennille, "Love Will Keep Us Together". Ian could not stand that song and lamented that it had been on the radio nearly nonstop since it's 1975 release.
Example:
Joy Division was a post punk English band from 1977-1980 that included Ian Curtis, Stephen Morris, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook.

Let's Dance to Joy Division

Song that apparently upset already depressed Joy Division fans. Kinda pathetic if you look at SongMeanings and similar sites and see their reaction to an indie band mentioning their brilliant band in a song. Oh, the song's also by The Wombats.
Example:
Teenager: Hey, did you hear that song Let's Dance to Joy Division? I love it!
JD fan: Fuck you, you don't have the right to listen to that kinda stuff... you little teenybopper.
