L’Osservatore Romano, the unofficial newspaper of the Vatican, has published a list of its top album picks of all time. Pink Floyd‘s “Dark Side of the Moon” (1973) made the list.
Also on the paper’s list of desert island discs are: “Thriller,” Michael Jackson; “Revolver,” The Beatles; “Graceland,” Paul Simon; “Supernatural,” Carlos Santana; “If I Could Only Remember My Name,” David Crosby; “Rumours,” Fleetwood Mac; “The Nightfly,” Donald Fagen; “Achtung Baby,” U2; and “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory,” Oasis.
Though the image of Pope Benedict XVI, earbuds in place, chillin’ to “Dark Side” is irresistible, we’re told El Papa isn’t actually consulted on these types of lists and entertainment reviews the paper has recently been publishing with increasing frequency.
