In 2014, we expect there to be a strong contingent lobbying for the induction of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. We will debate that in four years time, but until then we will settle for debating the induction of a band that is credited by some for introducing Industrial music to the public; Ministry.
Calling Ministry a band can be a bit of a misnomer. Essentially, the product of its only constant member; Al Jourgensen, Ministry was the first outfit that brought the Industrial genre attention. With their hard driving Metal guitars, and various samples they garnered attention from devotees of other Alternative based music. With the Alternative boom in the early 90’s, Ministry became more widely known, though they never hit it as big as they perhaps should have. Constant side projects and drug abuse may have hampered the long term affects of Ministry as a band, though overall they were more influential than they got credit for. As such, they are barely a long shot for the Hall.
