I always wonder what the band would have become had Ian Curtis not taken his own life when the band was Joy Division before they changed their name to New Order. I don't think they would have been as successful as music changed. Joy Division had a big impact on many musicians but I don't think their style would have worked as well as New Order's style in the 80's.

Death always elevates the deceased above any recognition they are deserving of to a mythical status.
IMO JD/NO peaked with Ceremony. Ignoring Blue Monday, nothing else they did or could do would have touched Ceremony. It's the quintessential example of a perfect song, for that mood.





Shit, even Psychic TV capitalized off payed homage to IC's death.
Seems to have benefited everyone but Ian.

I don't know about other bands whose names were inspired by literature but I do know that I have Steely Dan tickets for May 20th. Can't wait.

The Ned's stuff just sounds Emo to me. And I can't get into that kind of music. But the beats are decent.

Now back to real music, :lol:. JK Xtsho. My wife doesn't like most of my music either. And she knows better than to play Country music around me,:bigjoint:

Never been able to get into NAD either. Or Toad The Wet Sprocket.... or those mavens of disco-metal, KISS... I'd rather listen to paint dry.

 
NAD isn't on the top of my list but I like them. Gotta play a little of everything and break things up. Well everything except country. Can't stand it.
