Aah Joy Division. Right before their big American break-through (fueled by the hitsingle Love Will Tear Us Apart) lead-singer Ian Curtis had to go and commit suicide, thus laying the foundations for New Order whose Blue Monday is forever etched in my mind thanks to my older sister’s New Wave obsession at the time.
In commemoration: 30+ versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Just one play, no : listen list I discovered, iconolast:
