Again, still thinking about how Blender dissed Skinny Puppy, so I figured I'd start this topic.
Here's some of my faves:
Throbbing Gristle

Einsturzende Neubauten

Suicide - more proto-industrial, but still great.

Swans (during their "industrial phase")

So what do you guys and gals think of this stuff?

Very much so. I'm a massive fan of Suicide etc. Have you ever heard the first Ministry album "With Sympathy" It's amazing and nothing like their later stuff ( which I also enjoy )

I'm also into cold wave bands such as:

First time I've heard anything from With Sympathy. Pretty cool synthpop-like stuff (which I also like). I didn't care much for them after The Land Of Rape And Honey, though.

Generally I'm not a fan of industrial, but I did like W.A.S.P.'s KFD record where they had a stab at techno rock. Don't mind a bit of Ministry or NIN now and again either.

Stigmata is my favorite on that album.

I like Industrial but often lose track of what people consider industrial.  The ones I guess can be considered industrial are White Zombie, Fear Factory, NIN, N17 and a few others.

Actually I don't really remember much from that one. Wasn't "Flashback" on it? My fave song on Twitch is "Over The Shoulder" - VERY Skinny Puppy-ish, but well done.

When I first started paying attention to music, about 12 or 13, I listened to the crap that was popular at the time: MC Hammer, C&C Music Factory, ad nauseum.

The "grunge" phenomenon helped derail me from that pablum with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Different, but still fairly mainstream.

Then my older brother brought home the double bill of Ministry's "Psalm 69" and Skinny Puppy's "Too Dark Park." At first I was simply befuddled. Noise presented as music, what a novel idea! Once I got past my initial surprise and could actually listen to the music, I was amazed at how good it was.

Around the same time Nine Inch Nails became popular. I love Nine Inch Nails, but is essentially industrial pop. I don't mean that as a slight, I'm a fan of pop music (even if I don't much care for today's "popular" music).

Couple things I learned about myself. The first I already knew; I'm a fan of the non-sequitur. A lot of the music I really enjoyed would start with a really strong song structure and then throw in an entire musical track that would attack what had previously been played. (Forgive my lack of musical language.) The second, I really, really enjoy hearing sounds that a lot of people would consider abrasive. Oddly enough, I find sounds equivalent to nails being scratched across a chalk board very soothing.

So give me some music that includes abrasive noise ever eating itself with its own complexity and seeming disregard for song structure (while slyly reaffirming its own structure), and I'm a happy man.

I don't really care about music being "industrial," but I enjoy music that contains the aforementioned attributes. One of my favorite musicians working today is J.G. Thirlwell, who has been heading a band called Foetus for several decades now. His music isn't so much industrial as it defies categorization.

That being said, I love bands like the carnival barkers Mr. Bungle and Wolf Eyes, which is a band that is literally pure noise.

For the most part yes but depends on how it is used.  There is bad in everything. 
Ah, the good old days.

There is alot of industrial that I like such as KMFDM and Throbbing Gristle. Nine Inch Nails is probably my favorite though. When mom smashed my copy of Broken with a hammer, I only loved them more. I actually have "Pretty Hate Machine" tattooed on the inside of my right wrist. So yeah, I guess you could say I'm a fan...
