Like many 'greatest hits' or 'best of' collections, the problem with 1 isn't what it contains but what it leaves out. Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road are represented by a maximum of three songs each, while Rubber Soul, The White Album and Sgt. Peppers... get absolutely none. Of course, it was during their early years when the Beatles had more hit singles, so an album of "number one hits" won't be as comprehensive as it should be. Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is this: while a collection of many great songs, anyone who listens to just this is really missing out.

It's hard to rate this any higher considering it lacks my two favorite Beatles songs; "Revolution" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Then again no "greatest hits" album ever completely satisfies. If your looking to get into the Beatles music, this can be a gateway. Their best stuff is still found on "Revolver," "The White Album," and "Abbey Road."

The Beatles are the greatest rock group of all time. This collection is all of there number one hits in the states and the UK. The recording has even been made so the music will sound better. All of The Beatles hits are great, but I would have loved to see some other Beatles music in here. This is still a great collection.

A compilation of 27 of the best songs from one of the best bands of all-time: how can you go wrong?

This album is pretty good for whats on it but I feel it does hold too much early material and too little from their latter works.
27 tracks are great for what I paid for the album ($6)
This compilation of #1's is good for any new Beatles fan but as I said prior, lacks some classics.

Obviously the songs themselves deserve at least six stars, but I'm just not a best-of kinda guy.

The judgments of "Yeah it's amazing but it leaves out SOOO MUCH" is bullshit, judge an album on it's merits, you realize if we were to make a true "Best of the Beatles" album it would be roughly 173 songs long over about 10 discs right? And even that would still piss some people off. rIt's 27 of literally the greatest songs ever written, with the added benefit of containing some of their very best early singles that were never included on their albums (like the classics "Love Me Do" and "She Loves You"). How anyone could give this anything but a 5 with a straight face is beyond me.

The highlight of "1" is the way that it shows the development of the Beatles' sound: from the exuberant white boy blues of their early days ("Love Me Do","She Loves You", "I Want To Hold Your Hand") to more wordly, wiser songs ("Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby", "All You Need Is Love") and the mature, solemn works of their final days ("Let It Be", "Hey Jude", "Come Together"). Definitely one that will hook the new generation onto the Beatles.

This compilation is all 27 #1 hits. I remember when I was a Kid, my mom would play beatles #1 hits constantly(not anymore unfortunately) and it was probably one of the first albums I've heard ever. I'm glad that there's actually songs that I couldn't find on the Beatles' LP such as "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Lady Madonna" and "Hey Jude" but on the other hand, I was surprised to know that there was no songs from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Seriously, No "With the help of my friends", No "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"? At least this album is staying true to history.

A fatuous collection consisting mostly of PC, innocent love songs.

Normally I don't rate compilation albums, but this is a great collection. One of my favorite albums in my collection.

The Beatles are good, no argument there. I enjoy to listen to them every now n then. Mostly made of some really good songs, but too many are only okay. Has one really really low point with long and winding road, sorry paul

really how can anything with "let it be" on it be anything better than amazing? and on top of that it has one classic after another. This is perfect for any beatles fan.

The only thing that kept me from giving this album a 5 was the lack of classics like "lucy in the sky" and "a day in the life" etc. I realize that this album is just a compilation of all their number 1 hits, so I'm not blaming the people who put this album together for not including these songs, I'm blaming the American public of the 1960's for not getting these songs up to number 1. But it is a great compilation and I love listening to it.

It is hard to try and put The Beatles best songs on one complication. They did a good job but this is missing some key songs like Elenor Rigby, Taxman and the Golden Slumbers to The End Medly. Defenatly a great collection but msot certainly lacking.

This album contains all the Beatles no. 1 single and boy! what a collection. From the innocent rock days to the phsycaldelic drug days, to the mature end of the road days, the Beatles always delivered the goods. Hey Jude is a personal fave of mine from this album and I think that nananah bit is the ultimate. The lowest part of the album for me is the section with the songs from Magical mystery tour. Their ok but not that great. By the way im changing my name to Rory says no for anyone who cares.
