Forbidden Zone was actually a product of Oingo Boingo (actually The Mystic Nights of the Oingo Boingo). If you get the DVD there are some old clips of the band before Danny took over from his brother Richard.
There is a difference between the score of a film (the musical bed) and the soundtrack to the film. These are sometimes controlled by two different people as well (Composer and Music Supervisor). You'll have one person writing a score and another person picking out music for the soundtrack.
Danny Elfman is one of my favorite score writers/composers. I'm also a big Boingo fan.
I also like the stuff Dave Grusin did on "On Golden Pond" as well as other stuff he has done.
I like Peter Gabriel's soundtracks and other music.
I like Michael Nyman and Mark Isham as score writers as well.
I don't really have a favorite music supervisor. But if you like Tarantino soundtracks then you may want to check out other movies that
Karyn Rachtman has worked on. She was the music supervisor for most of his films.
