Joy Division. New Order was formed from the remnants of this band after lead singer Ian Curtis killed himself.

This is a great album by a great band that not too many people have heard of. They aren't obscure or anything, but they deserve more recognition than they get.

Hey, isn't this ther 'bands you've never heard of' thread? Not only have I heard of these, I am listening to them on my 'obscure' playlist right now.

Well, I'm glad you are. I'm willing to lay down the three bucks in my pocket that most of the people on this forum haven't heard of them, or at the very least have never listened to them.

I know one person on here who probably knows at least 2 of those three I quoted. I don't know about everyone else...

"Thick as a Brick" was one song.

I suppose, if we think of concept albums, many can be considered one song.

Scott Walker. Originally from the child pop group The Walker Brothers. He's pretty twisted.

Wire - The pinnacle of minimalist punk. They don't get the recognition that a lot of great punk bands do, but they should. The members of REM are big fans of this group.
