Last week the Vatican published it’s Top 10 Rock and Pop albums in its weekly newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, and the winners are:
1: Revolver…The Beatles
2: Dark Side Of The Moon…Pink Floyd
3: (What’s The Story) Morning Glory…Oasis
4: Thriller… Michael Jackson
5: Achtung Baby…U2
6: Rumours…Fleetwood Mac
7: The Nightfly…Donald Fagen
8: Supernatural…Carlos Santana
9. Graceland…Paul Simon
10. If I Could Only Remember My Name…David Crosby
Not a single album on the list from the 21st Century. The most recent is from Oasis, and was released in 1995. Apparently Vatican Radio doesn’t really spin the new stuff. What would you pick if you were Pope?
In other news… I only realized while writing this that The Vatican has its own country internet domain. Check it out.
What I would give to meet Bono…how awesome would that be!
