I'd have to go with their album, Pretty Hate Machine. Definitely an awesome one.

You know I was thinking of something the other day..what exactly categorizes a song or album? I used to be told NIN was alternative, but others think its rock/metal. Its hard nowadays to tell where exactly a band fits. Like the Cure, I always thought it was alternative too, but some people consider it just 80's, which I didn't even know was its own category. So give me examples, what falls under each:

Alternative
Rock
Metal
New Wave
Hip Hop
Rap
80's
mainstream
R&B
Country( even those lines aren't clear anymore either lol)

Other categories? and are some the same thing?
