As for what to start with if you're listening to The Beatles:
I love listening to 1 because it has great singles on it that weren't on albums.
From Me to You
She Loves You
Can't Buy Me Love
Paperback Writer
We Can Work It Out
I can't help but sing along with all those songs.
A big part of that is becuase it contains Within You Without You. I love that song.
My favorite album is definitely Abbey Road. I remember listening to that over and over as a kid.
I saw a couple of the movies, and Help! is by far the best. It's so great.
edit: I forgot the Yellow Submarine animated film. I've probably watched that a hundred times...
Didn't like the movie.
Do like the soundtrack.
Truf.
Anyways this whole release thing has got me thinking. I've heard some die hards try to convince me that going vinyl is the best option to get the best quality. I'm not a huge audiophile and don't really know much about it. Is vinyl worth the extra cost to invest into?
But seriously, you will not notice anything different on the CD.
And the White Album and Abbey Road are both better than either of them.

ummm don't try so hard. just sit back and listen to it.
I'm also afraid of buying any of the remastered albums. I'm not sure I'll be able to stop.
That depends
Does Let it be have the Orchestra or is it the new version?
It's the Beatles in Show Tunes, and it's terrible.
Speaking of growing up, I didn't grow up on the Beatles. My mom had her and my uncle's collection of vinyl stored at the house. It was Beach Boys, Zappa, and Iron Butterfly.
I was about 20 years late on the Beatles.
And second Joe Cocker.
He also does a solid cover of a Dylan/The Band song. "I Shall be Released".
How can anyone hate this cover?

Not they.
That's a George Harrison song.
Aha.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Maybe While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Also, yes. I've Just Seen a Face is the best cover ever. And that girl is fucking hot.
Really I consider Golden Slumbers & Carry That Weight to be one song, and when viewed as a whole, it's a masterpiece.

I've never heard anyone even mention it.
Go listen to it right now.
edit: I guess it's kind of obscure because it's on the Yellow Submarine album.

Hilarious.
Who is your Favorite Beatle? (George Martin is an option, and probably the other fifths)
When I was a child, I thought Ringo,
When I was an adolescent, I thought Lennon or McCartney,
These days?
Harrison
When I was a kid definitely Ringo if only because he was Mr. Conductor. He also sang the more kid-friendly songs, the 2 most stand-out ones being Yellow Submarine and Octopus's Garden. Great singalongs for a kid.
As I got older I got into my dad's books and he has a lot of Lennon bios. It's easy to see why, he was an interesting person and every time I finished one I was newly sad that he was killed before I was born. Reading about his early life I can't decide whether he would have been someone I would have liked to hang out with or not - he was hilarious and sarcastic and witty but he was also kind of a dick.
Still though, when all is said and done, he's still the favourite. I like his songs better than Paul's overall and I can sympathize with his utter disdain for the school system as a teenager and wanting to just break free of that and do what he was passionate about.
Maybe it's just because I've read so much of the John perspective but I don't find myself very interested in Paul. Also, he gave what I thought was kind of a terrible interview on Colbert.
I haven't read much about George but he seems like a cool guy. I keep reading that Piggies was his "anti-meat" song. Yes, I know he was a vegetarian but I see it as more of a song about class differences. Everyone I've talked to agrees. Whoever can listen to that song and think anti-meat is totally missing the point I think.
Hey Bulldog is actually the only Beatles song I've ever had on my iPod ever. It's a good song.
