One of the greatest industrial bands, composed of 1 memeber, Trent Reznor(greatest musician). The reason i said one of the greatest bands, and not THE greatest band is because The faint, Skinny puppy, Wumpscut, and Frontline Assembly are great bands too.
Trent IS inspiration.

Band that despite no longer being the centre of attention in the metal world, continue to rock, and rock well.
I am led to believe that Trent wrote the song "hurt", performed by Johnny Cash.

Nine Inch Nails was a one-man-band fronted by Trent Reznor. With influences such as Ministry, he successfully debuted with his first full-length studio album "Pretty Hate Machine." Fed up with greedy record label bullshit, he made his own label, and released the highly successful Grammy-Award winning Broken EP. He then peaked with his follow-up, The Downward Spiral, getting huge hits such as Closer, March of the Pigs, and Hurt. This was followed by cocaine abuse and rehab for about 5 years, until he returned with an album some find okay, and some find brilliant "The Fragile." He then went on to release "With Teeth" "Year Zero" and his final album "The Slip." He has just recently found new commercial success as a movie soundtrack artist, mainly recognized for winning an Oscar with Atticus Ross for the (also award winning) film, the Social Network.
Black Guy: Whats your favorite Nine Inch Nails song?
Me: Just about anything from Broken to the Downward Spiral. He released some pretty good stuff afterward though.
