the Vatican's top 10 rock albums

On 14 February 2010 the Vatican's daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published a list of the best rock albums of all time. They are:

The Beatles' "Revolver"
Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon"
Oasis' "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"
Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
U2's "Achtung Baby"
Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours"
Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"
Carlos Santana's "Supernatural"
Paul Simon's "Graceland"
David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name"

Make of it what you will.

No mention of this this guy!

No Bruuuce

Michael Jackson is Rock? I'm not so sure about that.

hmmm not a very good list , oasis should never be included in best of lists , and Joshua tree beats achtung baby for me.

i like most of these... but honestly i truly dislike michael jackson (crazy i know haha). so i really disagree with that one

seems like the vatican and i don't have same opinion about music. doesn't matter, i'm buddhist anyway

what does the vatican have to do with music?

anyway, they should have included madonna "like a prayer" or maybe sinead oconnor

That list was almost offensive.

No Bruce.
No Stones.
No Clash.
No Who.

Where are they?

I think it's fairly certain that the Vatican would never include a band that sang "He who fucks nuns will later join the church" on a best-of-anything list.

I might keep Revolver. But probably not. The rest can go. That Oasis record is very good, despite the heat they receive from a lot of music fans. But top ten of all time? Well, it's more deserving than half the records on that list, at least.

Who would have thought the Vatican didn't understand rock 'n' roll?

Yeah I understand that, but if you're going to censor what you put on the list because of a bias, then I don't see why they even have a list.
