You don't know the appeal of joy division, and you have lyrics from the wombats in your profile

Music was ahead of its time, Lyrics are brilliant. Who knows how big they would have become had the gone on tour to America

Watched it again last night, still a great doc and the music is timeless....I think it either resonates with you or ...well, you're dead inside

Watched the documentary last night, what was the big fuss about them?

Iain Curtis couldn't sing for shit and danced worse than Bez.

What is the appeal? Genuinely want to know what it is.

I think the main appeal of Joy Division is that their music sounds fucking ace.

I am going to watch the documentary tonight. For the record I have always been and still am a lot more of a New Order fan than Joy Division fan. The thing with Joy Division is that they stood out as being totally different than everything else that was going on around them during that period. The songs have also stood the test of time and the production by Martin Hannett was astounding. I can't take Joy Division for long periods due to the doom laden nature of it, but they were light years ahead of everyone else.

Whether or not Ian Curtis could dance has nothing to do with the music and his singing is fantastic by Mancunian standards. The sad thing about Ian Curtis is that he meant every word he sang and it was only ever going to end one way unfortunately.

Alright Scotty bud... not noticed you around here for awhile.

I ain't the biggest Joy Division fan, but their music is just well... decent.
The production seems ahead of it's time.
Irrelevant that members were also Blues (although it's a bonus) Guys like Ian Curtis are unique and true emotions come out during his performances.
Forget the actual ability, just haveto appreciate the Genuineness of Joy Division.

Curtis was also an Epileptic so he's a legend in my eyes :)
