Pope Benedict XVI is a fan of Oasis, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, according to a classic rock and pop albums list issued by the Vatican.

Endorsed by the Pope, the Vatican’s official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano published a top ten countdown of records they consider the best of all time.

In top spot is The Beatles' 'Revolver', but Oasis' 'What's The Story (Morning Glory)?', Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon', Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' also make the list.

Of Oasis' record, L'Osservatore Romano said: “The album was never equalled - probably because the Gallaghers were always fighting but that's how they like to take on their domestic and musical challenges.

“All credit to the group for gathering in the tradition of the Beatles, mixing it with a hint of punk and rock, the distorted guitar is a trademark of Oasis.”

Other records that made the top ten included U2's 'Achtung Baby', David Crosby's 'If I Could Only Remember My Name', 'Graceland' by Paul Simon and Carlos Santana's 'Supernatural'.
