Thanks for last week's avalanche of recommendations for songs named after women. There were far too many great songs to fit in the playlist, so apologies for any favourites I had to miss out.

This week I'm looking for songs about God and the devil. No niche Christian rock, please, but any song that deals, however abstractly, with Him Upstairs and Him Downstairs. It could be the Beach Boys' God Only Knows or Satan Is Real by country oddballs the Louvin Brothers. Jesus counts, too. Attention, gospel and heavy metal fans - your day has come.
