One of the sacred songs of the serious “post-punk” crowd, the folks who keep their faces blank, their clothing black, and their music bleak, is “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division, featuring the late Ian Curtis. Now, although I have no use for the gloom generation in general, don’t get me wrong—despite (or maybe even because of) Curtis’s dismal singing (no range, no pitch, very little musicality, period), “Love Will Tear Us Apart” is a great song.
