I think her album BEST OF SOUL is probably a good start, but her MADE IN TWENTY(20) is one of my favourites, so you could also try that. I'd also recommend you try her debut Japanese album LISTEN TO MY HEART and maybe VALENTI as well.

Definitely start with her first album LISTEN TO MY HEART...it's a great Japanese album!

Or you can grab her best album, that has a lot of good tracks on it.

If you're looking for her Korean stuff, most of it is pretty good, I highly recommend GIRLS ON TOP. <3

Also, BoA's recent album "THE FACE" is very good, although it didn't sell as well as other albums, it has a wide variety of tracks.

I'd definitely recommend trying these albums first:

-LOVE & HONESTY
-Atlantis Princess

Girls On Top, the track, is one of my favorites.

Luna62 posted a link for aikawa nanase's discography in a requesats thread, but i noticed it also has BoA's discography, so you could find some of her albums here:

LOVE & HONESTY is easy to like album (and my favorite of BoA). XD
It has a lot of catchy songs and good style in it!

I'll admit that I'm not a big BoA fan, but if you want some individual tracks, here are some of my personal favorites:
  • Valenti
  • Atlantis Princess
  • Amazing Kiss
  • My Name
  • Do the Motion
  • Spark
  • Quincy

Definately start with older stuff, BEST OF SOUL is a good place because it's a best album and has all of her best songs throughout the years. THE FACE is good, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't beat her old stuff.

Also, I too recommend Girls on Top for her Korean stuff <3

Personally, I'd recommend Atlantis Princess, Best of Seoul, and LISTEN TO MY HEART. I wouldn't recommend listening to THE FACE right away because by the time it came out her music style had changed a bit (and I'm not too fond of it, but that's my opinion >_<). Also, as someone who's first BOA album (and it was either my first or second jpop album that I ever bought) was Valenti, I'm not sure if I would recommend it. Personally, I only thought the title track was outstanding and the rest were just mediocre. It was because of that album that I wasn't sure if I liked her or not. Atlantis Princess is what made me a HUGE fan, though.

BEST OF SOUL would probably be the best to start with. Same goes of KPOP Selection when it comes to her korean work. As of her post-BOS singles, get EVERLASTING, Do the Motion, nanairo no ashita, KEY OF HEART, Winter Love, LOVE LETTER and VIVID.

For me, it's any of her early stuff.

KOREAN
[1] ID; Peace B
[1.5] Don't start now / Jumping into the World
[2] No. 1
[2.5] Miracle

JAPANESE
[1] LISTEN TO MY HEART
[2] VALENTI

All of her albums, both Japanese and Korean, have some excellent tracks. I just find her earlier work much more consistent and cohesive.
