I chose Abbey Road, because of the quality of songs. I think you would be hard pressed to find a person that has never heard 'She Loves You', 'Yesterday', 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', or 'Let It Be'. A compilation could almost kill interest because it would not show what a good band they were. There is a prevailing attitude amongst the general public that The Beatles are just about the above hits. When I heard "Abbey Road" or "Sgt. Pepper", I knew I was on to something so much deeper than what even I had perceived as "THE BEATLES". When I heard the albums I saw a depth that I had no idea about, and I considered myself a fan already. I only had "20 Greatest Hits" and "Live At The Hollywood Bowl".
