If you didn't want people to vote for Joy Division why bother putting it on the list?

And yes, you're right, they aren't really the happiest of souls either. What I'm basing it on is that I was at college in Salford around the time of Joy Division and The Smiths so was part of the scene. Smiths fans were too evangelical at the time and followed them almost like a religion, revering Morrissey as some sort of saviour of Manchester. So actually what I'm basing it on is that at the time I simply liked Joy Division's music and disliked The Smiths.
