I have a feeling that Joy Division would be a 4 star band

There was a few mention by John in the starostin board about how when the itinerary is finished, he would like to cover some post-punk bands.

Now what band would inspired him to get further into the post-punk genre of music specifically.

Only Joy Division and U2 fits that genre description and with U2 it was only really their first two albums and they are more pop-rock/arena rock.

My guess would be Unknown Pleasures gets a E, closer - D, Still and substance gets a C.
