1989Hanson: The Movie / Son Of Slam, Hanson: The MovieOn nin.wiki (http://www.nin.wiki/Trent_Reznor#1989) it says Trent worked on "Hanson: The Movie, Hanson: The Movie" and "Son Of Slam, Hanson: The Movie", i couldn't find any info about the release of these anywhere except for a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TArFzKI6ECE) which Scott Hanson commented on. Trent likely did work on this because they formerly knew eachother from Slam Bamboo but there is no exact title or proofSongYes1989

1989Head Like A HoleFirst track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. It was the first commercial success Trent Reznor had and received wide radio rotation at the time. Though Reznor doesn't dislike the song, he was quite surprised it became as big as it did, especially due to its relatively easy writing process compared to some of the lesser recognized tracks on Pretty Hate MachineSongYesOct 20 1989
56
1989Terrible LieSecond track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine and begins directly at the end of "Head Like A Hole" (the end of the latter providing a segue into the beginning of the former).SongYesOct 20 1989
57
1989SanctifiedFourth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine, recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, the only NIN song containing that playing technique. Its mood was altered from its happier form on Purest Feeling to a darker, uneasier one for Pretty Hate Machine.SongYesOct 20 1989
58
1989Something I Can Never HaveFifth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. It is apparently a song about lost love and missed chances, though the true story about the song isn't widely (or at all) knownSongYesOct 20 1989
59
1989Kinda I Want ToSixth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine, and has ties to lust, though it's unclear exactly what the speaker wants to do or whom they want to do it with. Notably hard to write, Trent Reznor has always been very unsatisified with the song and thinks it's by far the worst song he's ever done. He has also stated it's the one song he will not play live anymore, though as with anything, this is subject to change.SongYesOct 20 1989
60
1989SinSeventh track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. Remixes were featured on the Sin single along with a B-side (a cover of Queen's "Get Down, Make Love"). The song is often amped up when played live, usually featured at the beginning of setlists.SongYesOct 20 1989
61
1989That’s What I GetEighth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. Trent Reznor has stated that the song was not originally intended to the be on the album, but was rather meant for b-side material, due to not fitting in lyrically with the rest of the songsSongYesOct 20 1989
62
1989The Only TimeNinth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. The song references "Down In It" in its use of the same recognizable melodic synth voice.SongYesOct 20 1989
63
1989Ringfinger Tenth and final track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. The demo version of this song was called "Twist," which remains musically almost identical but uses alternate lyrics.SongYesOct 20 1989
64
1990SupernautSong originally written and recorded by Black Sabbath and covered by Ministry side project 1000 Homo DJs. Several versions of the song exist, and though Trent Reznor recorded the original vocals for the song, several debates exist as to which version contains his contributions, as he remains uncredited on official releases due to contractual spats with TVT Records. It is one of several songs misattributed to NIN.SongYes1990

1990Untitled (From Head Like A Hole)Hidden 4 Second track on Head Like A Hole, It consists of host Heather "Princess" Day saying "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Woooo! They're GOOD!". It is the shortest non-silent track on any NIN release, and also notable for being a NIN track for having no input from Trent Reznor.SongYesMar 22 1990

1990Sin (Dub)This remix is almost completely stripped of lyrics, save for the words "sin," "control," and "lies" scattered throughout the track. SongYesOct 10 1990
77
1990Get Down, Make LoveCover of a Queen song that appears on the Sin single and the remastered version of Pretty Hate Machine. The original appears on the Queen album News Of The World. It has been played live by most incarnations of the band at one point. According to an interview Trent Reznor did with Melody Maker magazine, "Get Down, Make Love" was supposed to be a "tongue-in-cheek" cover.SongYesOct 10 1990
78
1990Sin (Short)This remix incorporates some of the elements of the "Long" and "Dub" remixes, but it has a more drawn-out outro. This version is used in the music video.SongYesOct 10 1990
79
1991Suck (Pigface)This original recording features Reznor on guest vocals. Musically, the song is nothing like the Nine Inch Nails recordings of the song, characterized instead by drums and bass. Its multitracks were those released for a remix contest by Pigface.SongYes1991

1991Now I'm NothingSong that was written for and used as an introduction to NIN's set during the Lollapalooza tour in 1991. It was always followed by "Terrible Lie," but was never recorded in the studio nor officially released. A live recording of it can, however, be found on the DVD release of Closure, and in audio form on bootlegs.SongLiveJuly 18 1991

1992PinionPinion is a very simplistic track that begins the Broken EP. A pinion is a gear with a small number of teeth, often engaging a larger gear. It's also a bird's wing or flight feathers. To pinion someone is to bind their hands and feet in such a manner that they cannot be used. An example of this last definition can be seen in the music video to the song.SongYesSept 22 1992
87
1992WishSecond track on 1992's Broken EP, and displays that era's characteristic aggression and abrasive guitar attack. The song won a Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance." It keeps with the general mood of the Broken EP and includes numerous angry and self-deprecating lyrical passages, but unlike other songs, also shows a desire for something more.SongYesSept 22 1992
88
1992LastVery guitar-oriented and immediate, the song also features abrasive vocals by Reznor during the verses but melodic singing in the choruses, a contrast repeated in later songs like Head DownSongYesSept 22 1992
89
1992Help Me I Am In HellHelp Me I Am In Hell is the fourth track on 1992's Broken EP. The song title is most likely inspired by a scene in Hellbound: Hellraiser 2.SongYesSept 22 1992
90
1992Happiness In SlaveryHappiness In Slavery is the fifth track on 1992's Broken EP. It was also released as a promo single and controversial music video. The title is evidently taken from the preface of the bondage novel The Story of O.SongYesSept 22 1992

93
1992SuckSuck is the second hidden track on 1992's Broken EP. Originally packaged with "Physical" on a Mini CD sold with the EP, it was later incorporated onto the EP as a hidden track after allegations that some music stores were removing the Mini CD and selling it separately. "Suck" is track 99 on Broken while "Physical" is track 98.SongYesSept 22 1992

1993Last (Butch Vig Remix)This remix has never been commercially released. It was originally uploaded the Cyberden FTP server by "someone in Chemlab's camp" as an 8-bit/11kHz AIFF file in 1993, which circulated as the only available copy until Reznor hosted a CD-quality MP3 of the song in his remix.nin.com profileSongYes1993
