Joy Division were are good band in that era, but they would have faded into history just like the Buzzcocks, Psychedelic Furs etc.
But New Order which rose from the ashes of Joy Division are pure fucking genius.
There would have never been New Order and all the fucking amazing music they have created if Curtis was still around.
