Can some Rock music have swear words?
yes
==========
James Hetfield does not write a lot of lyrics with profanity, but some examples are "Dyers Eve" from ...And Justice for All ("I've outgrown that f**king lullaby") and "Damage, Inc." from Master of Puppets ("F**k it all and f**king no regrets").
Hetfield adds "s**t" when he sings "One" live: "Cut this s**t off from me" rather than "Cut this life off from me" as on the recording.
And of course, Metallica covered the profanity-filled Anti-Nowhere League song "So What".

Bill Haley & His Comets

Myers, a low-key Philadelphia musician, music publisher and movie extra co-wrote "Rock Around the Clock" with the late Max Freedman, a Philadelphia postal worker turned songwriter. The song was recorded by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1954 and forever changed the landscape of American popular culture. It stalled on the charts, then blasted to No.1 in 1955 after it was showcased as the theme for the teens-gone-wild movie "Blackboard Jungle.
What is the meaning behind Elton John's song 'Daniel'?
Daniel is about a Vietman Vet who was blinded in the war, and is commended for being a Hero, so is sent home. His younger brother is the one supposedly singing about his heroic brother. He is called a hero and his brother wants him to stay home, and has missed him,but Daniel does not consider himself a hero at all. He simply wants to be left alone, so takes off to Spain. It was sort of dedicated to all the crippled and damaged men in the Vietnam War. Very sad song. But later Elton John had said it was about his brother. You wouldn't get this from the lyrics of the song because Elton demanded that the last verse be cut off to shorten the already long song. Hope i helped(:

Did the Ramones cover Tainted Love?
No
== No, The Ramones wrote My Sharona, but a good cover song of My Sharona was performed by The Number Twelve Looks Like You
WRONG. The Ramones did NOT write My Sharona. The Knack did. Last answer is right. Strange that it is always attributed to the Ramones but My Sharona was written by Doug Fieger of the Knack and appeared on their album, Get the Knack". If you don't own this album I would recommend it along with the better "but the Little Girls Understand" On the trivia front there really is a Sharona, song was written about a girl Fieger was enamored with called Sharona Alperin who has since appeared on later versions of the cover.
of course! he was a superstar back then! A great, very great, singer so many people loved him!

Which military title did Elvis Presleys manager tom Parker assume?
Elvis Presley recorded only a handful of tracks while he was in the Army. During one two-week leave, he went to Nashville and cut five songs. Most of the recordings that came out during Elvis' Army years were previously unreleased material which RCA Records had stockpiled in anticipation of Presley's absence. Between his induction and discharge, Presley had ten top 40 hits, including "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck", the best-selling "Hard Headed Woman", and "One Night" in 1958, and "(Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I" and the number one "A Big Hunk o' Love" in 1959.
Answer
No, KISS is not a punk rock band. KISS is a glam rock band.
Answer
No, KISS is not a punk rock band nor is KISS a glam rock band. Punk and glam were both British phenomena that American artists like KISS tried to emulate.
Answer
Yeah...check your history. Punk rock began in the U.S. The Stooges, the Ramones, the New York Dolls, etc. were all releasing albums 3 to 5 years before the Sex Pistols, the Damned, the Clash, etc. even met each other. You really can't argue that punk rock began in England, because it obviously didn't. The timeline proves otherwise.
Glam rock did arguably begin in England with David Bowie. But that really has nothing to do with whether or not KISS is a glam rock band. The fact that KISS didn't start glam rock doesn't mean they aren't a glam rock band. They dress up in costumes and makeup and their performances are flashy and showy. That makes them glam rock.
In fact, they are the archetypal glam rock band. If you ask someone to name a glam rock band, the first words out of their mouth are almost invariably either, "KISS" or "David Bowie."
Answer
no they're hard rock
Answer
Sure, it would be fair to call them hard rock as well. But they are still first and foremost a glam rock band. I mean, just Google, "KISS glam rock." I'm not the only person who calls them glam rock. Most everybody else in the world does, too. The fact that this one person -- our second answerer -- disagrees does not make it untrue.
Answer
1967, John's Children - first punk band. Also, the originator of glam was Marc Bolan - English. They are not glam because glam was effeminate. Categorising them because they wear makeup is stupid as glam was more about the performance and the songs.
Answer
Yeah...no. The MC5 were already up and running in 1964. And the Stooges formed at virtually the same time John's Children did.
Again, the timeline just does not add up. The very first punk bands were the MC5 and the Stooges from Detroit, and the first punk scene got started in around 1971 in New York City. And none of these bands were even remotely influenced by John's Children.
Malcolm McLaren was hanging out in New York watching these bands. He even tried to manage the New York Dolls. When he failed, he brought punk to England and sold it there. And it sold.
This is not just my personal view; if you do some reading on punk history, you will find that what I'm saying is the commonly accepted truth.
And you can think whatever you want about KISS, but most people consider KISS to be a glam rock band. And again, the fact that they didn't invent glam rock doesn't mean they aren't glam rock. Again, just Google it.
If you want to have fringe opinions about music, then you're free to do so. But you have to recognize that most people do not agree with you. "KISS is not a glam rock band" may be the right answer to YOU, but that doesn't make it the Lord's gospel truth...or even the commonly accepted truth.

Who is more popular Nickleback or Nirvana?
Nirvana by far. You see AIC may be older but Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was the voice for "Generation X". After "Smells like teen spirit" came out they were and still are the most popular rock band in the world. If Kurt was still alive they would have put bands like " Killswitch engage" or "Slipknot" out of a record deal.

What is the meaning to the song 'Comfortably Numb'?
Great question! There's actually a few ways to look at it.
- The song is from Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall, in which an archetypal rock star named "Pink" grows increasingly isolated as a result of traumatic events of his past and present. These events lead to his building a metaphorical "wall" to separate him from the outside world, using these events as "bricks". The song "Comfortably Numb" shows his isolation after he builds the wall.
- Primary songwriter Roger Waters and director Alan Parker approached the film project "The Wall" as a feature-length music video, with the songs telling the story (which is fleshed out quite a bit more with the accompanying visuals). During "Comfortably Numb", Pink is still isolated, but we also observe him shaving his head, eyebrows, chest-hair, etc. This symbolizes Pink's reversion to a fetal state, out of which he will be reborn as a proto-fascist later in the film ("In The Flesh" and "Run Like Hell").
- Like many of the songs on The Wall, Waters drew upon his own personal experiences when writing the lyrics. In the case of "Comfortably Numb", he recalled being very ill with stomach cramps while the band was on tour, and being administered a tranquilizer (the lyric "just a little pinprick" alluding to the injection). The medicine made his hands feel "like two balloons" and took away his pain ("there is no pain, you are receding").
- Most of the songs on The Wall were written by Waters alone; once his concept was complete, he presented the song cycle to the band, who then added their parts with strict supervision from Waters. In the place of "Comfortably Numb" was a shorter song called "The Doctor" that barely resembled the finished product. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour added a chord progression for the chorus, and of course added his iconic guitar solos. At that point it was renamed "Comfortably Numb", and was one of the only tracks on "The Wall" that was co-written.
Why is this important, you ask? Well, at the time The Wall was being recorded, Gilmour and Waters hated each other bitterly. They'd barely talk to each other, much less cooperate in the songwriting process. And after The Wall, the band released another Waters project The Final Cut, after which Waters left the band for good. So in a way, "Comfortably Numb" could be seen as the last time the two primary songwriters of Pink Floyd worked together, before their own wall separated them for 25 years.
