On this day in 1980 New at No 71 UK Album Charts Was Joy Division with their 1st LP “Unknown Pleasures” IMHO an iconic piece of history that’s still essential listening. I’m choosing “New Dawn Fades” how about you ?

Totally agree, Stephen Morris' drums in the intro make me shiver every time I hear them.

The album cover art work that spawned a thousands memes, t-shirts, oven gloves etc.
‘She’s Lost Control’ for me.

Day of the Lords is brilliant! But to be honest all these tracks are smashing... as you said - an iconic album that!
