Hard to pick one but I think my fave NIN song is The Becoming.
My fave Trent anecdote is on wikipedia:
Personally I find that inspiring. I may not be able to make music, but I can mop the floor real good!!!

Assitant engineer AND janitor is such a wild mix.

I'm guessing it was an entry-level job. I think at that point Trent only had a high-school diploma and little if any experience.

"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.

Yeah, "Quake theme" (track 1) for me, especially after a machinima used it; tho some of the "Ghosts" tracks are also favorites.

I really like The Only Time, from Pretty Hate Machine

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.

Really love both Wish and Last off the Broken album.

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.

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.
