Vatican: Beatles' Music is Better Than Today's Music

As a life long Stones fan and one who thinks the Beatles suck, this hurts. Wait, I'm not Catholic. So this doesn't apply to me.

Vatican media are praising the Beatles' musical legacy and sounding philosophical about John Lennon's boast that the British band was more popular than Jesus.

The newspaper as well as Vatican Radio last week noted the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "White Album."

It said the album demonstrated how creative the Beatles were, compared with what it called the "standardized, stereotypical" songs being produced today.
