Taste is a wonderful thing - some like peanut butter, some do not; some like it crunchy some like it smooth. Each to his own, I say, and normally I would add, live and let live, but "terrible"... how so?

Just for the record, smooth sucks, crunchy rules!!! LOLLOLLOL

Smooth does have it's uses...

WOW Thumbs Up

And his substitutions for Trent's profanities work very well, even better than the original words.

Johnny Cash for Proto-Prog? Tongue

^ just for you:
 
 
...a poignant video - June Carter died shortly after filming, Johnny a short while later. Trent was so moved by this version he now does it this way live.
 
" pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure" ... Trent Reznor
What?

Interesting factoid not mentioned in this thread on NIN yet, Johnny Cash did a cover version of Hurt.  Haven't heard it yet.  Anyone who has know if the kept the curse words in? Tongue

There are lots of NIN fans who seem to believe that The Fragile starts off where the Downward Spiral finished. I personally don't think so, since it seems to me the end of TDS with the self titled track and "Hurt" portray the main character in the concept commiting suicide by shooting himself. If that's the case, The Fragile would seem like one of those pitiful excuse for a sequel films that we get so much in theaters these days.
 
However, they're both two of my favorite albums.

I presume this is asking whether we like NIN or not?  If so then yes, what I've heard I like.  I went to see them a couple of years ago at the Manchester Apollo, but ended up not seeing them at all because they had so much dry ice that you literally could not see the band/stage, which totally ruined the show.  Pity, because they sounded great but because of this I wouldn't waste my money on going to one of their gigs again.

I think The Fragile and Downward Spiral may make a decent argument for crossover prog as Roland said, though even as possibly the forum's biggest fan of NIN I'm not holding my breath for them to get in.
 
That being said, Ghosts I-IV is totally prog.

I would agree that things like With Teeth are definately not prog.

But what about all the Ghosts? They're on the verge of being eclectic prog?

I think they should at least be prog-related, for gems like Downward Spiral (which could easily qualify as crossover prog).

Downward spiral is the most ambitious album I've ever heard, and the concept is my favorite of any album I've ever heard. I love it!
 
Trent was pretty brutal live too! Never seen seen somoe get that angry on stage... and I go to some pretty extreme shows!

What sub-genre would you put them in?  Crossover?

The Fragile, despite not being included on PA, is one of my top 5 prog albums of all time. I think it's not included because the body of NIN really only includes 2 prog albums, but The Fragile is very very ambitious. I enjoy all of their work of course, but I could not possibly make an argument for something like With Teeth being prog.

I vote yes. They are one of my favorite bands and I've seen them twice in concert, the second time they co-headlined with Jane's Addiction as well.
