Instrumental

An instrumental is, in contrast to a song, a musical composition or recording without lyrics or any other sort of vocal music; all of the music is produced by musical instruments. Specifically, this term is used when referring to popular music; some musical genres make little use of the human voice, such as jazz, electronic music, and large amounts of European classical music (although in electronic music the voice can be sampled just like anything else).

"Instrumental" simply means there are no human voice in the music. For example in jazz.

i'm guessing it's because trent has some instrumental songs are nin are probably the most popular band on the list, towering above bands that are purely instrumental but less well known.

Not many people are actually going around tagging NIN as instrumental, they are just correctly tagging those track of theirs that are indeed instrumental. Track tagging makes far much more sense then artist tagging.

NIN has some of the best instrumentals ever. Trent Reznor is clearly a genius. Actually, aside from PHM and WT, I think there was at least one instrumental on every album.

Please check out my music. They're instrumentals with mostly manually played instruments. Unlike stop and start buttons music off the backs of true players. Just kidding.
