I can't make you like NIN, but are they really that unlistenable to you? "Closer" is essentially disco; all of the singles off 'Pretty Hate Machine' are virtually as catchy as some Janet Jackson singles you're endorsing (as am I). I dunno, NIN always seemed surface-scary to me back in the day but deeply pop at heart. If I had six voting slots, Reznor would take that sixth slot easily (him or Chaka Khan).Chris Molanphyhttp://www.slate.com/authors.chris_molanphy.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-5673453640042660962015-12-07T09:54:30.029-05:002015-12-07T09:54:30.029-05:00Jim, they gave us a little booklet with profiles o...Jim, they gave us a little booklet with profiles of each of the 15 nominees.

Pretty Hate Machine in 1989 was actually very late on the Industrial timeline<br /><br />I shared some thoughts on Future Rock Legends recently about where Trent Reznor fits in from my perspective as an Industrial fan dating back to the early-80s.<br /><br />http://www.futurerocklegends.com/artist.php?artist_id=Nine_Inch_Nails#350937darinRGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-67583947215087057542015-12-06T12:00:17.573-05:002015-12-06T12:00:17.573-05:00I did not realize that HoF voters are given no cri...I did not realize that HoF voters are given no criteria for making their choice.
