Sure the singers both use a baritone singing style but in that respect you can say Ian Curtis was ripping off Jim Morrison (which he was). The National and Joy Division are both melancholy bands for the most part I'll give you that but Joy Division were a simple minimalist band where as National's music tends to be more complicated.
