The Beatles

I'd start with The White Album or Revolver. Maybe SGT Peppers. Don't get compilations, they're a waste of time and money.

i disagree - they may not have the best songs, but they're a good gateway to the band, and you also get to see which era of the band you like best before proceeding to get into the real nitty-gritty

I'd suggest getting Abbey Road, Revolver, and The White Album. But to start, I would actually recommend getting a compilation album to get a taste of the band.

Can't believe someone's asking this question... but my answer would be Rubber Soul, then Revolver.

How the hell could you be a beginner when it comes to the Beatles? The average westerner probably hears half their discography before he/she can walk.

Naw. Compilations are good for people who want a broad view of material from all stuff released at that time.

I would just get the 1962-1966 (Red) and 1967-1970 (Blue) albums. Sometimes if you look you can get them both together on sale. Those are best as an introdution to The Beatles, that go beyond the "1" CD.

Exile On Main Street

Seriously though, don't do that. Get The Beatles first.. Rolling Stones second.

I've heard plenty of their hits but I want to delve deeper into their albums, so thats why I asked the question.
