I like Joy Division, appreciate them quite a bit for what they and the Bunnymen did. But by no account are the two albums they made (neither of which I would consider spectacular) considered to have a lasting impact. I like Ian Curtis, I really do, but their influence on post-punk is not definitive enough to have them included in a Hall of Fame. And despite how many fanboys are on this site, I think too many people romanticize more about Curtis's suicide than JD's music. Please compare them to the Bunnymen and JAMC before you shout me down.
A definite "no" on my behalf. Sorry.
