I'm making my dad a two-disc Nine Inch Nails compilation. Did I basically cover the gist of NIN? Are there any key tracks missing? Any songs that should be omitted/replaced with something else?

Disc One:
Head Like A Hole
Terrible Lie
Something I Can Never Have
Sin
Wish
Last
Happiness In Slavery
Gave Up
March Of The Pigs
A Warm Place
Reptile
Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)
Burn
Dead Souls
The Perfect Drug
The Last Inch

Disc Two:
The Fragile
The Day The Whole World Went Away
We're In This Together
Please
Starfuckers, Inc.
The Big Come Down
Just Like You Imagined
The Hand That Feeds
Only
All The Love In The World
With Teeth
Survivalism
Capital G
My Violent Heart
The Warning
1,000,000
Discipline
Lights In The Sky
The Way Out Is Through
Hurt

Supernaut - It's a cover but so is Dead Souls. One of my favorite NIN covers. Released on 1,000 Homo DJ's EP.

You're missing their biggest hit ever, Closer.

I didn't include Closer because my dad's already heard it and he doesn't like it. He refers to it as "That Disco Beastiality Song". Laughing

Wow, I'll have to try and download Supernaut...

Personally I don't much like Every Day Is Exactly The Same, but All The Love In The World definitely belongs on there...

I removed "Meet Your Master" and added "All The Love In The World" and "With Teeth" to Disc Two.

You got "Just Like You Imagined" and "The Big Comedown", so you're pretty much all set. Smile

That being said, I noticed you have the "Nothing Can Stop Me Now" version of Piggy, which I'm assuming is the Rick Rubin remix from "Further Down The Spiral"?

If you're including remixes, I think Charlie Clouser's "Version" remix of "Ruiner" from "Further Down The Sprial (v2)" qualifies.

Also, what exactly is "The Last Inch"? I know.. a bit about NIN, and I'm not familiar with this one.

The Big Come Down is my favorite NIN song, hands down.
The Rick Rubin Remix is superior to the original version, IMHO.
Isn't that version of Further Down The Spiral the European version? Unfortunately I don't have that...although I could find it.
The Last Inch is an instrumental I found while looking at various NIN fansites. It sounds very much like the music of the With Teeth era. If you want, I could e-mail it to you or something.

Just to be sure, everyone knows that Supernaut is a cover of an old Black Sabbath tune right?

Yeah. And you can only get the TR-vocal version on bootlegs ("Demos and Remixes" has it). The officially released one (since TVT wouldn't let them release the Trent one) has Al Jourgenson singing on it, I think.

The original version is better than the one on that Ministry comp. I don't think the latter actually has Al on it, I think they may have just distorted Trent's vocals further, but don't quote me on that. It's been awhile since I've heard it.
