On this day 45 years ago, Love Will Tear Us Apart was released. In 2002, @NME named the song as the greatest single of all time, while @RollingStone named it one of the 500 greatest songs ever in 2004, 2010, and 2021.

Here's the band's setlist from a show at Malvern Winter Gardens in 1980, but what track would open your Joy Division setlist?
