Ticket to Ride actually made me come around when I thought there wasn't much about the Beatles I liked when I first heard them. It's accessible as any of their pop singles, but it has a quirkiness to it that I really enjoy. It may do the same for you, Janszoon.
As for albums, Revolver and Abbey Road would be the two I would check out, along with bits and pieces of the White Album. The B-side medley is one my favorite pieces of music by anyone. Really well done and brilliant considering it's throwaway tracks and was never meant to be used as a single piece.
As for stand alone tracks worth checking out, I mentioned Ticket to Ride, but I would also say...
-Hey Bulldog
-It's All Too Much
-I've Got a Feeling
-Girl
-I Want You (She's So Heavy)
-Rain
-She's Leaving Home
It's a decent sampling of some of their lesser songs, by Beatles standards anyway, so maybe that will help.
