The Beatles: Kurt Cobain loved 'disturbed' Lennon but was 'embarrassed by McCartney'
Nirvana took hold of the 1990s with their iconic grunge-style music, and with the release of their incredible albums Nevermind and In Utero. Singer and songwriter for the band, Cobain, was a massive fan of The Beatles, and was brutal about how he felt about each of the members’ songwriting styles.
Speaking in an interview in 1993, Cobain confessed: “John Lennon was definitely my favourite Beatle, hands down.
“I don’t know who wrote what parts of what Beatles songs, but Paul McCartney embarrasses me.”
The 26-year-old at the time added: “Lennon was obviously disturbed [laughs]. So I could relate to that.”
He also explained how he learned a lot about The Beatles’ lives from reading about their lives growing up.
