Some one please check me, here. I paid my fair allegiance to Joy
Division and the like 15 years or so ago. I also watched 24 Hour Part
People when it came out. 90% of the bands were familiar.  But the
Monday's?  Neither my wife or I or had heard of them. Must a' been
swimming too long in the main stream.
 
Incidentally, as a result of this list, I have recently gone out to
re-rent this and I agree, the film is thick and rich.
