Joy Division was a nice dance band, but short lived and not really an influence outside Manchester.

I have now realized what an incredible act DEVO was.
No joke. Almost imagine talking heads stole from them.
MC5 had a pivotal song “Kick Out the Jams” which for some reason is considered to be groundbreaking and thought to have influenced other artists, or something.
It’s a good song. “A” good song, as in one good song. It’s all they had.
Apparently Stevie Nicks toured with Tom Petty and would come out to sing that one song with him and then would go sit down offstage.
I asked the band to play Devo’s “Gates of Steel” at my wedding.
They refused.
Devo made some awesome videos in the day.
