Boringly canonical, no hip-hop, Mariah Carey or darkwave, only one token album made by a black person. Does the Pope even like music?

Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Monday, 15 February 2010 17:21 (fifteen years ago)

Dear God. I was expecting Josh Groban and Michael Buble.

No mere pope can resist the evil of the thriller.

Boringly canonical

Or Jim Carrol Band's Catholic Boy.

Bizarrely, I just created this Catholic Rock playlist for Rhapsody late last week, in honor of Ash Wednesday coming up. (No Tom Lehrer "Vatican Rag," Bruce Springsteen "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City," Pop-O-Pies "The Catholics Are Attacking," or Billy Ward & His Dominoes "St. Therese Of The Roses" available on the site, sadly.):

Can't wait to see the Archbishop of Canterbury's rival list of slammin' tunes and red hot beats. Something to really get the vicar's tea party jumping.

wow david crosby at number 2! great album

El GarBage (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 15 February 2010 18:11 (fifteen years ago)

(What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

It was the "Some might say they don't believe in heaven/Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell" line that sold them.

Cunga, Monday, 15 February 2010 18:37 (fifteen years ago)

basically with Fagan and Fleetwood Mac on there, it seems like we should invite the pope to 77

El GarBage (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 15 February 2010 18:40 (fifteen years ago)

the archbishop of canterbury reps for the incredible string band iirc

"A "semi-serious" guide to quality"

what a relief

Zeno, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:09 (fifteen years ago)

I'll just bet the Vatican has a huge secret stash of black and death metal.

"or presenting a cosmology in which people aren't regarded as intrinsically evil"

*cosmology*

by the way, I'd love to be regarded as intrinsically evil.

Marco Damiani, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 08:25 (fifteen years ago)

AFP - ‎55 minutes ago‎
VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI has urged Irish bishops to "restore the credibility" of the Roman Catholic Church rocked by a paedophilia priest scandal, the Vatican said on Tuesday. "The presence of Michael Jackson on our recent top ten albums list is a disgrace," claimed the Pontiff. "That spot should've been held by Sufjan Stevens."

BrianB, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:09 (fifteen years ago)

kinda not convinced this isn't a joke but if you're gonna troll with this list surely you could sneak something bringing more of the lols than Thriller.
