Hard to pick one but I think my fave NIN song is The Becoming.

My fave Trent anecdote is on wikipedia:

Reznor got a job at Cleveland's Right Track Studio as an assistant engineer and janitor.[20] Studio owner Bart Koster later commented, "He is so focused in everything he does. When that guy waxed the floor, it looked great."

Personally I find that inspiring. I may not be able to make music, but I can mop the floor real good!!!

    "Sin" and "Head like a hole" are absolute bangers. But "Hurt", oh man, that one claws at the recesses of your soul.

    Honorable mention to "Together" and one of the best damn episodes in the history of television (talking about The Bear).

    Honestly for just pure nostalgic sake. It would probably be something off the Quake soundtrack. Though there's no shortage of really good tracks to choose from old and new.

    It's hard to pick just one, but it's either Into The Void or Ruiner. It really depends on the day and my current mood.

    I really like The Only Time, from Pretty Hate Machine

    It's incredibly hard to pick just one song, I'd have to do a mood dependant top 3:

    Sin

    A Warm Place

    March of the Pigs

    The ones I've played the most (because they are in my driving playlist) are two remixes of The Hand That Feeds by Photek. Straigh mix and Dub mix. I love how they each take two very different riffs from the original and stretches and really maximises them.

    But personally last couple of years has been This Isn't The Place after I lost a good friend.

    Really love both Wish and Last off the Broken album.

    It’s always changing. Teen me would’ve perhaps disagree with me, but I think the beauty of Leaving Hope is pretty hard to beat.

    God it changes all the time. If I HAVE to pick I guess I’ll go with The Fragile. That rising guitar fucking grabs me by the balls every time.

    Into The Void, probably.
