Formerly known as the “devil’s music”, rock n roll has taken long strides to gain acceptance and support from the Christian community. Now taking rock-relations to an all time high, the Vatican has just released a top 10 guide of its favorite music albums. A pretty rock-solid list of classic albums ranging from experimental and daring (Thriller, Dark Side) to timeless awesomeness (Revolver, Rumours).

Perhaps Bono’s 2005 meeting with former Pope John Paul II struck a chord with the Catholic Church?  Now if only we could get some of these tunes and a few pyrotechnics into Sunday’s mass.

The List:

1. The Beatles – Revolver
2. David Crosby – If I Could Only Remember My Name
3. Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon
4. Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
5. Donald Fagen – The Nightfly
6. Michael Jackson – Thriller
7.  Paul Simon – Graceland
8.  U2 – Actung Baby
9. Oasis – (What’s the Story) Morning Glory
10. Santana – Supernatural
