Today's ear X-tacy features a classic track or deep-cut from the Alternative era every weekday at 10:10.

British post-punk band Joy Division released their debut album Unknown Pleasures on June 15, 1979. Despite not making the charts, it becomes hugely influential and is widely critically acclaimed as one of the defining albums of the post-punk era.

For today’s ear X-tacy, we spotlight the albums’ lead track, Disorder.
