For example, a band like Joy Division. Two masterpiece albums in the form of Unknown Pleasures and Closer, and the untimely death of Ian Curtis cut it all short. They were even heading into the direction that New Order eventually went in, and it would have been interesting to see what Ian Curtis would have done if they fully made the leap into electronic music while he was still alive.
Oh, I know of that band! I’ve heard a few of their tracks on streaming radio…Poptron, I think. Yeah, they’re great, I didn’t know they dissolved like that. It’s a shame, they were real good.
In terms of song quality, even I as a fan can admit they were hit and miss. But I still loved their stuff overall and there was no denying the talent involved, ever.
Also, I’ve seen them in concert 4 times, which makes them my #2 artist on setlist.fm :)
