Just further reiterating your point of Trent Reznor being a one-man band and one of the reasons I have a lot of respect for his talents is that he plays all the instruments on the recorded releases of all NIN albums (bar a few releases with guest performers such as Dave Grohl on drums on 'What You Think You Are' and "Line Begins to Blur' from With Teeth.

Not only does he write all the music and lyrics but he also mixes/produces the albums (with Alan Moulder). I don't think there is another artist possible of labelling a more definitive 'one man band' than Trent Reznor.

I'm starting to sound like wikipedia but among his accolades of being one of 25 most influential people voted by Time magazine and included in top 100 bands of all time voted by Rolling Stone magazine, he is largely heralded as the godfather of the Industrial music genre with Gary Numan; see NIN's cover of 'Metal'.

The live performances are always amazing with spectacular light shows.
