The Beatles album inspired chart-topping grunge hit
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have each inspired generations of music. In turn, Lennon's idol was Elvis Presley, though when they finally met in 1965, he described the encounter as "cr*p," in a classic example of never meeting your heroes. Nirvana's musicians Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic never met any of their Beatles inspirations when the band was still going before 1994, but Grohl has opened up about their impact on the group on several occasions, particularly for himself and Cobain.
