Trent Reznor's dynamic band created stirring pop industrial music which pulled off the near-impossible feat of pleasing both underground and mainstream.
Nine Inch Nails were the most popular industrial group ever, though it isn't really accurate to call NIN a group; the only official member is singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, who always remained solely responsible for NIN's musical direction. Unlike the vast majority of industrial artists, Reznor wrote melodic, traditionally structured songs where lyrics were a focal point. His pop instincts not only made industrial music easier to digest, but also put a human face on a style that usually tried to sound as mechanical as possible. Reznor became a genuine star and his notoriously dark, brooding persona and provocateur instincts made him a Jim Morrison-esque sex symbol for the '90s. ~ Steve Huey
