Well today Joy Division was again nominated for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Why they have not been inducted yet is beyond me. We all know how messed up the voting is as well as the ones that get in. Joy Division is without a doubt one of the most influential bands of the last 40 plus years. Which brings me to today’s article. The song “Decades,” the closing song off of their other masterpiece, Closer. Each time I listen to this album and when I get to this song, I’m compelled to repeat it at least four times. The eerie vibe mixed with the synths create a lush soundscape to go along with what would become “goth rock” is astounding. You can hear on this album especially the back half of it where the band was heading. Here’s to Joy Division finally getting their due!
