Vatican announces list of ten greatest rock and pop albums

I shit thee not.  In related news the pope is coming to britain and tax payers are footing the bill. Meanwhile bankers are still getting phat bonuses whilst I have to survive on half-empty bags of coffee grounds found in skips behind the local starbucks.

Nah, i’m kidding. There’s no starbucks in this fucking town. Small mercies, huh?

The Vatican has previously denounced rock music as the devil’s work but in a surprise change of tune on Sunday the Holy See’s official newspaper, L’ Osservatore Romano, published what it called “a semiserious guide” to the top ten rock and pop albums of all time.

The list included The Beatles’ “Revolver,” which was given the top slot, Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of The Moon”, Oasis’ 1995 bestseller “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” and Michael Jackson’s blockbuster “Thriller.”

Other records that made the top ten include U2’s “Achtung Baby”, Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours”, Donald Fagen’s “The Nightfly,” Carlos Santana’s “Supernatural,” Paul Simon’s “Graceland” and David Crosby’s “If I Could Only Remember My Name.”

No Dylan though.
