Check out the artists' responses
Metal Hammer published a list of musicians' answers to the question: "What album does nobody believe you have?".
Check out the main answers:
Matt Tuck, Bullet For My Valentine : LMFAO “Sorry For Party Rocking” – “A year ago I bought the LMFAO album. I don’t love it, but there are some singles that are fun. Stupid and silly, but unique too. I don’t know why I bought it… Well, I do know, I was drunk.”
Amy Lee, Evanescence : Katy Perry, “Teenage Dream” – “Okay, I didn’t buy it, but I put it on my iTunes. Don’t hate me, it’s definitely a secret pleasure. I like the song ET and I’m wondering if there could be a heavy metal version of it.”
Cristina Scabbia, Lacuna Coil : Lady Gaga, “Born This Way” – “I like it, I think it has good songs, but the previous album is more sophisticated. I think it sounded more genuine.”
Shagrath, Dimmu Borgir : Gwen Stefani, “The Sweet Escape” – “It’s actually pretty cool. Of course, pop isn’t my favorite type of music, but I’ve become more open-minded in the last decade. Every time we’re on a tour bus with metalheads, it’s always exciting to put on this stuff, or Lady Gaga. Everyone always sings along.”
Dani Filth, Cradle Of Filth : Dimmu Borgir, “Spiritual Black Dimensions” – “What do I like? I didn’t say I like it, I said I own the album! Ha ha ha! But it’s one of their best.”
Mr. Lordi, Lordi : Shampoo, “We Are Shampoo” – “I was a big fan of Shampoo. They were huge everywhere, for 5 minutes. I liked the attitude, the choruses – Viva La Megababes and songs like that. I like female vocals.”
Angela Gossow, Arch Enemy : Michael Jackson, “Bad” – “Thriller and Bad are two of my favorite albums, but I choose Bad. He was a very troubled artist, but he made fantastic music.”
Serj Tankian, System of a Down : Depeche Mode, “Greatest Hits” – “What’s interesting is imagining why people would be surprised by this. I didn’t listen to any Rock or Metal in my teens. I like Goth and New Wave from the 80s; Depeche Mode, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus.”
Davey Havok, AFI : Nicki Minaj, “Pink Friday” – “I love Nicki Minaj, I especially like her first album. I’ve seen her live and it’s a lot of fun.”
Lzzy Hale, Halestorm : Janet Jackson, “Rythm Nation” – “This isn’t my fault! I went on tour with Amy Lee from Evanescence and she gave me this album. We’d had a little too much to drink and started singing Janet Jackson, then later she sent me the album.”
Michael Starr, Steel Panther : Britney Spears, "Femme Fatale" – "I like her because every time I see her, I want to have sex with her."
James LaBrie, Dream Theater : Miles Davis, “Kind Of Blue” – “This is one of my favorite jazz albums. Do people realize that? Ha ha”
