Ah Manson. Portrait of an American Family is one of my all time favorite records. But I fucking hate everything about this band basically from after the moment it was released. IMO hiring Twiggy was the moment the band I loved died. Daisy Berkowitz and Madonna Wayne Gacy lead to the best work the band did, and Twiggy pushed out first Putesky (Daisy) then Bier (Gacy) to have full control of the band. Even Skold and Vrenna could not save the band from the Twiggy dominate years musically.

Not listened to them in the post Twiggy years, but have no desire to given what a piece of shit Manson also turned out to be. And will not listen to anything Twiggy is ever attached to ever again for what he did to Jessika Abrams. Some can separate artists from art, I will not.

Goes without saying I also think that White Joining A Perfect Circle also ruined them.

Just wanna report in that I've at least heard of 24/50 of these artists. Almost 50%!

Here is some good industrial System to check out for more classic shit.

Also Wax Trax has a Black Box comp out there with all the early releases which is a great look at early industrial. Highlight of that era has to be 1000 Homo DJ's Supernaut.

Singer should be familiar.

And my fav Ogre fronted Pigface track from the amazing Notes From Thee Underground Album. Also amazing version of Suck with Trent and Ogre doing vocals on it.  Want to say it is Welcome to Mexico Asshole is the Pigface live album with Ogre on lead vocals.

Confessions of a Knife… would have made it if I did a Top 100. Thank you for the recommendations.

Thrill Kill is such a fun band. Oddly, my favorite album by them was their psychedelic go-go album Hit and Run Holiday. People hated it at release but was so damn catchy I fell in love with it.

Did love this countdown. Always very interesting to see someone's musical evolution and taste, I fucking love a nice good full album, thinking about revisiting and finishing/redoing my own top countdown soon. This was a good one here with a few of my favorites and some interesting results. Nine Inch Nails The Fragile has always been a favorite of mine since it came out, which is nuts it came out 25 years ago? I still remember seeing the performance of the title track on the 9.9.99 MTV music awards I was blown away by it at the time. I do remember that album actually being a big hit when it came out, it was everywhere here.

Always recorded and loved the tracks that would come on the radio but it wasn't until way later that I finally got my hands on the full album. It really is a masterpiece I still love it.

This reminds me of a funny story when I got in trouble in the computer lab in school in 8th or 9th grade around the time Fragile came out, I had the 1994 album on CD and was going to listen to it through the headphones during that class. I forgot to hook the headphones up when the CD started at max volume that opening startled the teacher and the class I was in big trouble!

My favorite though is the VHS tape of Of All That Could Have Been that I got around 2002, I actually still have it it has to be one of my oldest possessions that I still have. If you haven't seen that it's pretty amazing live performance from around the time The Fragile came out.

I do love me some Manson, still. Antichrist Superstar surprisingly holds up really well for something that was my favorite CD when I was 13. I have not heard that album that cracked the top of your list I will check it out.

Offspring was my favorite band when they were new, Smash still goes hard. I didn't like their evolution into what they changed into, honestly never really listened to that 1996 follow up to Smash other than a song or two, beyond that they were not for me. But damn Smash was my very first CD 30 years ago and my favorite band, glued to MTV waiting for those videos to play.

A Perfect Circle whatever happened there? That first album was sweet
