What greatest hits did you get, Blue/Red album? or 1?
You are unfamiliar with them, thus I'm presuming you purchased 1 - as it's the "discount's bin" introduction to the Beatles. Of which basically spans just their #1 singles, and "quality" of music cannot be quantified by sales, thus this is not truly a "greatest hits" album, but merely a "commercial primer" to introduce you to what is, the greatest band.
It really doesn't do their catalogue justice.
The beatles were an "album" band. You got the substance, the depth, by listening to their albums in full. Be it Rubber Soul, Revolver, etc. Even the early albums grow on you, and their enthusiasm/energy wins you over.
Abbey Road side II medley > Music
IMO, that is the pinnacle of melodic noise-vibrations.
