Well since this the 1980's I am guessing it is an fact New Order are that are being inducted not Joy Division. However Joy Divison probably make more interesting TV hence the listing. If New Order are being featured then there will be considerable Joy Divisino footage. As somebody said here they are virtualy the same band.
Also I think you would be surprised about Joy Division/New Orders popularity. Joy Division are a bit of a cult status especialy amongst students.
well ive just watched this in its entirety and tbh whom would you vote for?. the list is like a whos who of pop (popular music). jacko,prince,g michael,rem,b springsteen,pubic enemy,beastiality boys,smiths,guns n poses,joy division. i think thats it? if its a hall of "FAME" then jacko would win hands down,but seeing the other noms it would tend to suggest influence on others since. there again whom would you vote for?. all of the above have contributed in some way to "pop" note i said "POP" music. the fact that jd got mentioned at all is a testament to their talent and musisc. some of the comments made by steve and more so by hooky suprised me. hooky described how he was gutted (deeply upset) by ians death whereas in previous interviews hes seemed detached or more concerened with his own situation than what was going around him and to me this was a big BIG putting the record straight interview. i enjoyed watching the show but hardly expect jd to win but if they did id be over the moon,if not for myself but for new order as i deeply feel they deserve the recognition. and if it was up to me they would be the 6th "by rights entry into the hall of fame. i could bang on n on bout this but im knackered and off to bed nn.
Watched the show last night,very disappointed. Yeah it was great to see Joy Division being included with the likes of Guns N Roses,Prince and Jacko-howeveri really felt it should have bee NewOrder up there. JD were finished by summer 1980 and the impact they had was as someone else stated in the late 70`s.
NewOrder were at their most prolific in the 1980s-6 albums,including "Substance" which contained only 3 tracks previously included on other albums! The likelyhood of NewOrder ever getting recognition now is fading fast-they cant be in the 70s,only released "Republic" in the nineties,and are sadly no longer main players on the music scene.
Does anyone know what Shaun Ryder was on about, bearing in mind he can't string two sentences together. Bit rich saying Ian was of his face when Ryder was of his face.

Yeah I noticed that, you can't really take any notice of what he says though. I personaly think the best thing Ryder ever did was helped to get Chris Evans of our TV screens.

The Smiths? Over our boys? If you even think about voting against JD i`ll be round with a piece of 2 by 4 to do yer some serious harm! 
Watched (& taped) the show, & like the rest of u I was pissed off that NO didnt get the recognition they deserve; but im more pissed off that we cant vote from over here in the peoples republic of ireland.
I hope all you UK'ers have voted under every conceviable name!
Vote early & Vote Often! ! ! !
Too bad Joy Division are too good and too revolutionary and did not sell enough records to ever get into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
