Joy Division fans are rock-solid on the band's legacy but shaky on the albums — while 100% correctly named New Order as the band's rebirth, only 50% could identify 'Candidate' as a track from the iconic debut album 'Unknown Pleasures', revealing a real gap between fan lore and deep-cut knowledge.

Not a single fan in the quiz was fooled by The Cure's Robert Smith or The Smiths' Johnny Marr when asked about Joy Division's guitarist — but 17% mistakenly pointed the finger at frontman Ian Curtis instead of the correct answer, Bernard Sumner.
