Earlier today, Trent Reznor announced an upcoming Nine Inch Nails tour via Pitchfork. While we're VERY excited about the announcement, we did have a little bit of a head's up: about a month ago, Adrian Belew mentioned an upcoming "big secret" while be interviewed at The Namm Show that had many a NIN fan awaiting the inevitable announcement:

While we wait for actual DATES on this upcoming tour, we can go through some of my favorite tracks from the NIN catalog:

1) "Something I Can Never Have" from Pretty Hate Machine

5) Mr. Self Destruct - Downward Spiral

How did you first encounter Nine Inch Nails? What are your favorites?
