Joy Division was a great band, and should be in the Hall as well, but they never got the chance to progress. The Cure did.
They're absolutely pop, but they're on the alt side of the spectrum.
I hope they get in. They've been eligible for years, and as far as I'm concerned they should have been elected straightaway in 2003.
Disintegration is obviously about as seminal as an album can get. Everyone from Pitchfork to TIME knows that.
