Joy Division: Closer (1980) This post-punk band's second and final album appeared two months after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. Eerily, the cover (selected by designer Peter Seville before Curtis's death) featured a photo of a family tomb, by Demetrio Paernio, in Genoa, Italy. The austere, haunting image echoed the bleak yet mystical feel of the album. -- JC
