On this day, October 20, 1989, Nine Inch Nails released their debut album Pretty Hate Machine. The album, which peaked at #75 on the Billboard charts, introduced the world to Trent Reznor’s industrial rock sound and helped shape the genre for years to come. With tracks like “Head Like a Hole” and “Terrible Lie,” Pretty Hate Machine became a cult favorite and established Nine Inch Nails as a defining force in alternative and industrial music.

Do you remember when Pretty Hate Machine first dropped, or did you discover Nine Inch Nails later in their career?
