Vatican Releases Top 10 Pop Albums List

Vatican Releases Top 10 Pop Albums List

Turns out things are slightly groovier at the Vatican than many might have thought. L’Osservatore Romano (which translates to The Roman Observer) is a newspaper covering the Holy See’s public activities, amongst other related things. In a rather out of character move, the paper ran an article Sunday listing its “semi-serious” choices for best pop rock albums, remarking, “our modest guide can point you on the road to good music.”

So what artists made it to the top of the holiest playlist of all? Oasis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac and U2 all made the cut. This article comes on the heels of other pop culture-y L’Osservatore Romano pieces, as the paper is trying to break away from its notoriously stuffy image. (Recently, they’ve also run articles about Harry Potter, The Simpsons and Avatar.)
