About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album, or artist, has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety.

I'm a big Beatles fan, but this doesn't even belong in the top 10,000. There are plenty of great tracks here, but the compilation as a whole is just a McCartnry-centric mish-mash of up-tempo singalongs and mushy ballads. Selecting an artist's tracks by their chart ranking and then compiling chronologically very rarely produces a listenable LP.
It's a compilation. With few exceptions, the only point of dicussion is the selection of individual tracks that were chosen. It's not an 'best ever' album. _________________ Finnegan was super bad-ass.
It's a collection of their #1 hits, right? As such I think it's a good introduction to The Beatles, and was also my personal introduction to them back in third or fourth grade. Of course, seeing as their best albums (IMO!) hardly have a song featured in this, it can't really be seen as a great "best of" album.
I grew up listening to this compilation. For years, I would fall asleep to these songs, and I used to know them by heart. The strangest thing about this that was apparent to me, even as a kid, was how strange it was to watch a band evolve so consistently over their career. That, and I loved these songs. This might be the most important non-album in my life, if not the most enduring collection of songs I've encountered.
A good chronological album by a great, decade defining band, but honestly, any one of their studio albums is a better introduction than this... _________________ - An aspiring Music Journalist.
