==Notes==
 +
*NIN has covered How To Destroy Angels seven times thus far. Considering that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are both studio members of the band, and [[Alessandro Cortini]] is a live member of both bands, this is not surprising.
 +
*NIN/Reznor has covered David Bowie eight times, the most for any non-related artist.
 +
*"Suck" is frequently debated as a cover song, as Reznor both co-wrote and appeared on the original release.
 +
*Contrary to popular belief, NIN has never covered "Supernaut".
 +
*''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'''s DVD release comes with bonus footage of NIN covering "The Beautiful People" with Marilyn Manson.
 +
*''[[Closure]]'''s digital download comes with footage of the unreleased "Sex Dwarf" studio sessions.
 +
*The version of "[[Reptile]]" performed by Peter Murphy and NIN during the 2006 Radio Collaboration incorporates elements of Love And Rockets' "Haunted When The Minutes Drag".

Notes

  • NIN has covered How To Destroy Angels seven times thus far. Considering that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are both studio members of the band, and Alessandro Cortini is a live member of both bands, this is not surprising.
  • NIN/Reznor has covered David Bowie eight times, the most for any non-related artist.
  • "Suck" is frequently debated as a cover song, as Reznor both co-wrote and appeared on the original release.
  • Contrary to popular belief, NIN has never covered "Supernaut".
  • And All That Could Have Been's DVD release comes with bonus footage of NIN covering "The Beautiful People" with Marilyn Manson.
  • Closure's digital download comes with footage of the unreleased "Sex Dwarf" studio sessions.
  • The version of "Reptile" performed by Peter Murphy and NIN during the 2006 Radio Collaboration incorporates elements of Love And Rockets' "Haunted When The Minutes Drag".
