Trent Reznor is easily one of the 10 most influential people in music today. Just hardly anyone notices because he doesn't sell records. The man is single handedly reshaping the way music is made, distributed, marketed, presented to fans etc.

PJ has lost all influence from a musical perspective and like 99% of all artists they aren't really doing anything but making music (to be fair neither is RHCP but I still think RHCP were more important in their hayday, PJ was mostly just a part of the grunge movement). NIN/TR are more than just music. Their albums don't sell particularly well and their shows don't sell that much but people in the music industry are taking note of what TR is doing. I'm not going to go into it unless someone asks, I really don't want to have to find all of the links.
