The Fab Four's 1968 album, which featured the songs Back In the U.S.S.R. and Dear Prudence, has beaten out The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle from the same year on the NME's new countdown.

Also making the top five: Afrodisiac by Fela Kuti, Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Kanye West's Late Orchestration, a one-off performance of tracks from his first two records, backed by a 17-piece orchestra.
