Direct Effect: Music That Inspired Nine Inch Nails

Posted to Reznor's Beats Music account in 2014 with the following caption: "Trent, can you create a playlist that most represents who you are as a listener?" Umm... Weeks pass and when I finally confront the task I realize I've misinterpreted the request - I've been making a list of music that played a vital role inspiring the idea, concept and music of Nine Inch Nails. So, this is THAT list - a certainly incomplete collection of tracks that represent a variety of vibes, feelings, trends and records that were exciting to me as NIN was coming together in my head.
