There was also a reader challenge to create a Songs About Satan playlist. The winner, "E. Guard, of Poole" selected artists ranging from AC/DC ("Highway to Hell", naturally) to Elvis Presley ("Devil In Disguise"), as well as Sonic Youth's awesomely-titled "Satan Is Boring".

Sonic Youth - Satan Is Boring (from Bad Moon Rising)

Left Out: INXS' "Devil Inside", Pulp's "The Mark Of The Devil", Cake's "Satan Is My Motor", Morrissey's "Satan Rejected My Soul"...
