There. I said it. Granted, it's from Osservatore Romano, so it probably doesn't count, but geez, I'd like to know who came up with this (from The Register):
The Vatican has prescribed the perfect iPod playlist for Catholics looking to spend their summer trailing between carefree rock festivals rather than scouring their soul on foot-lacerating pilgramages.
The list, published in Vatican freesheet Osservatore Romano, is noticeable for having no overtly religious leanings. While it does feature sometime Gloria singers U2, Bono is these days more famous for acting as if he is Jesus than for singing about him.
Thank goodness. Who knows what sorts of apocalyptic hijinks might erupt if allegedly Catholic newspapers actually leaned towards religious stuff. Or even Catholic stuff.
Check out what's on the list, though:
The Beatles- Revolver
Sucks
David Crosby- If I Could Only Remember My Name
Sucks
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Sucks (unless you are watching it with The Wizard of Oz)
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours
Sucks
Donald Fagen- The Nightfly
Sucks
Michael Jackson- Thriller
Doesn't suck, but come on. Is this really an album or singer that should be promoted by a Vatican journal?
Paul Simon- Graceland
Sucks
U2- Achtung Baby
Doesn't suck
Oasis- (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Really sucks
Carlos Santana- Supernatural
Sucks
Looking at this, it's pretty easy to see how liturgical music has been devastated over the last few decades.
