The greatest hits cds are good, but it's actually probably a better idea to start with individual albums. The albums really are narratives in the best sense, they tell a full story. Listening to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely hearts Club band the album is a different experience from listening to Sgt Pepper, then I Wanna Hold Your Hand, then Rocky Raccoon, then Michelle, etc. The greatest hits albums are more for people who already own everything but want a mix tape of their favorites.
You should borrow an album.
I don't know how to tell you to get their music. Like with any other music if you don't then you don't. You can't really argue someone else into liking what you like.
For me, appreciating the Beatles isn't something I learned to do, it's something I've always done. We didn't listen to them in my house as a child, I heard them more when I was a teen and automatically fell in love with all of it.
For my money they are still the best band in the world 30 years after breaking up (and some of them dying).
