It's the ultimate accolade for the bad boys of Brit pop - Oasis album 'What's The Story Morning Glory ?' has been named in a Vatican Top Ten of essential listening.
The Ten Commandments of Music were listed in the Vatican's official newspaper L'0sservatore Romano and also included Pink Floyd, the Beatles Fleetwood Mac.
Fellow Brit band Pink Floyd with their album 'Dark Side of the Moon' was also listed and described as 'extraordinarily enjoyable' where the 'ability of the musicians combined with the mastery of production.'
The other albums were Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller,'' the Beatles ''Revolver, Paul Simon 'Graceland', 'Supernatural' by Carlos Santana, David Crosby's 'If I Could Only Remember My Name', 'Rumours' by Fleetwood Mac, Donald Fagen's 'Nightfly' and U2's ''Achtung Baby.''

I have a secret guilty pleasure Fleetwood Mac thing going. But, making it rather cooler, mostly centring around a thirty year obsession with the album Tusk, which was always way cool and now is being seen for the masterpiece it is. It came out at about the same time as London Calling: together they make for the perfect album, and have a lot more in common than you might think (Jimmy Jazz and Hateful and Not That Funny and That’s All For Everyone would make quite an EP).
I’m not sure what to make of the Pope’s enthusiasm, though. A bunch of people who may possibly not have stuck to their marriage vows and might on the odd occasion have taken some cocaine, singing songs mostly about not sticking to their marriage vows and taking cocaine. Very Catholic.
