In fact, when Cobain didn't want to do something in the studio, Butch Vig told him Lennon did it and Cobain would give in. I think the issue was double-tracking vocals or something.

This is just fucking stupid. I whistle Beatle's tunes in the shower, not their image.
Regardless of how you personally feel about the Beatles, you must admit there have been literally billions of people in the world who have felt otherwise. Some of them started a band. (One of those people was Kurt Cobain.)
The influence of the Beatles musically and culturally is massive, and I don't know how I got suckered into responding to something so stupid. Must be bored.

Fun mind-game:
--Pretend Michael Stipe killed himself (or ODed maybe) after Automatic for the People. You couldn't slap the "Generation Spokesperson" on him fast enough.
Or what if Thom Yorke bit it after OK Computer?
Smith after Disintegration? Ooo, that would have been a great dramatic rock story. I can see the biopic now.
