I gotta go with others on this, I don't see how his film scores would even register with the RRHOF. For reference how did that work out for Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo? The recent "come back" along with HM on major label and large scale world tour would be more helpful as far as recent NIN/TR "promotion".

Jesus. Definitely one of the biggest bands in the world from 94-95, even by YOUR standards. Speculated to have the largest crowd at Woodstock, despite the likes of Metallica and others that headlined. And sold out or nearly sold out all those TDS era arena shows. Don't think that SG or Nirvana even attempted large scale tours those years (pretty sure AIC wasn't doing arenas either). Not sure what touring was like for PJ or GD, honestly don't give a fuck either, but if someone here knows fill us in if you want.
