... of the year in Spin
magazine and NIN has been the number two band of the year. In 1994, Nine Inch
Nails was announced MTV's band of the year. This was a great honor because MTV
spends most of it's time with rap and hip-hop. When NIN's first album came out
in 1989, it was mostly rock and roll with a techno twist, containing songs full

Bluegrass Music
Number of Words: 809 / Number of Pages: 3
... music of southern Appalachia was a powerful form
of entertainment as folks gathered in the evenings to dance and socialize.
It was what people back then loved. The people back then probably looked
at bluegrass music in the same manner as I look at alternative music today.
It was just a style of music that they could relate to and express some of
their ideas through.
