As said by BOY the Red and Blue compilation albums are the best place to start as they cover the Beatles discography pretty well. After that see which songs and period you like best and go from there. If you want to go straight into their albums, then the mid period of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" is the best place to start.

For a complete Beatles beginner, "With the Beatles" is a very accessible album.
Some great tracks-best ever versions of " Please Mr Postman" and "You really got a hold on me" and "Money", plus great originals like "All my Loving" and "Not a second time". Very much Lennon`s band at that time. |

Considering how the Beatles evolved, compilations are a great way to narrow down your interest and then focus on a specific album.
I think '1' probably is the best one. Because it give you a healthy dose of their entire career, without it overloading your senses. I say this probably because this was the album that started me off. But I say the compilation method is the best way to go. |

no^ All the members contributed to The Beatles and each one in their own right are equally deserving of praise.
George Harrison is my favorite Beatle.

"Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby", "Penny Lane", "All my Loving", "Here, There and Everywhere", "Get Back", "The Fool on the Hill" "Obla Di" " Hello, Goodbye"and "Paperback Writer". He also contributed to much of the early stuff-"She loves you", "Please please me", "I`m only sleeping" etc, etc. IMO, Lennon and McCartney were far better as a partnership than solo artists. |
