Don't know the first or third but I think the 2nd light be Jeremy by Pearl Jam? I'm not too good with this lol. I'm king of misheard lyrics, I usually have to look them up online to find out what they actually are lol. I don't know when Linkin' Park had its hits so don't know that one either. No clue what the first is. Never heard a song like that lol.

This popular metal band is frequently abbriviated as "A7X".

Yeah, Jeremy by Pearl Jam.  3rd was "Numb" and the 1st was "bad moon on the rise" by Creedence Clearwater
This song by a 90s group whose lead singer committed suicide by shooting himself mentions not having a gun:

Ah, as it turns out, I actually knew all three of those songs, I'm just bad with trivia lol.

Well, I do know this one, Nirvana. Yeah, I always found that song ironic.

The lead singer of this popular 70s and 80s rock band committed suicide too. The band was named after a city in the New England area.

I'm going to guess Boston? I didn't know the lead singer comitted suicide though.
This song has what I think are space shuttle liftoff? sounds at the beginning, during the song, and at the end.

Yep Brad Delp committed suicide on March 9, 2007 at age 55. He had placed two charcoal grills in his sealed master bedroom and died of carbon monoxide poisioning. His last interview was two days before his death and he seemed perfectly fine! The reasoning behind his suicide remains a mystery. Boston is one of my favorite older rock bands. ;D

Hmm I don't know. I might know the song but I need more of a hint than that lol.

It was "Rocket" by Def Leppard
This song by Elton John covers a similar topic:

Rocket Man!
When this popular Dire Straits song is played on the radio, I always wonder if it'll be the version with a certain dirty word:

Oh... Yeah... I know that song... lol

Ah Money for Nothin'. 8) LOL I don't think it's a swear word but yeah some stations bleep it out and others don't... One thing I find strange about radio censoring is thay with the word @$$hole, they will bleep out the "hole" part but not the @$$ part. And @$$ when said alone isn't censored at all. Since when is "hole" a bad word? lol

Best one I've heard butchered on the radio was Nickelback's 'Rockstar'...they cut out the word "drug" making it sound really awkward since it's in the chorus!
This song has also been commonly misinterpreted as having "wrapped up like a (dirty word)" when it's actually "Revved up like a Deuce"

Ah that one's Blinded by the Light (how ironic for you to use that on this forum lol). I honestly always though it was wrapped up like a do---e lol.

This band is wel-known for their song "Drive" but is otherwise relatively unknown. Everyone knows their song Drive but nobody knows who the band is lol. They happen to be one of my favorite bands too.

Incubus, or (less likely) the Cars. 
This female artist is often featured in rap music:

Don't know either of those.

Bachman Turner Overdrive had a popular song that mentioned "And She looked at me with them big brown eyes and said '_________' " What did She say?
