Every single piece of music in every genre I've heard from NIN has been downright mediocre. The man tries to do everything but everything to me sounds totally halfassed.
+1. Cannot stand NIN. I've heard some German proto industrial music from the 70's that was superior to NIN. He obviously borrowed from it bigtime and popped it up for the masses.

Meh...... if the reason for hating a band is because that a band "borrowed" from thier influences who in somone's opinion MAY have been superior..... might as well quite listening to music. Music isnt created in a vacum.

No, the fact is I don't like NIN because I think it sucks shit. I saw that 70's band LONG after I heard of NIN. I shouldn't have used the term "borrowed". Copied would've been more accurate. What they were doing was eerily close to what NIN did 20 yrs later, only with more primitive technology obviously.
Then you should have just said so and left out that the "popped it up for the masses." because there has been alot of great music that has been made by the artists "borrowing", "stealing", "copied" or what ever you want to call it. Also because some music is made that the "masses" dont know about or even like doesnt make that music better. And on the flip side just because some music is embraced by the public doesnt make it suck either.
