I think we should give equal time to the devil, or satan, or whatever.

I'll start with the obvious - Sympathy For the Devil

Devil's Right Hand - Steve Earle
Devil Gate Drive - Suzi Quatro
To Hell With The Devil - Stryper
Demon - Keith Richards
Devil In Dusguise - Elvis

Th father - and still perhaps the best - of them all: "Me And The Devil Blues" - Robert Johnson

- Doxa

also Mr Johnson's Preaching Blues (Up Jumped the Devil)
Hellhound on My Trail deserves honourable mention too, i reckon

I made a mixed tape (yes cassette) in college (late 80s) called "Struggle." Musical selections are obviously dated. But this thread and the God thread inspired me to bust it out. Can't play it, but I can look at it.

God Knows I'm Good -- Bowie

God - John Lennon
God Part II -- U2
God Only Knows -- Bowie version

Oh My God -- Police
God On My Side -- World Party
God Fearing Man -- ?
Under The God -- Tin Machine

Side Two: Devil Songs

Devil in Her Heart -- Beatles
Runnin' With the Devil - Van Halen
Preaching Blues (Up Jumped the Devil) -- Robert Johnson
The Devil's Been Busy -- Travelling Wilburys
Devil Inside - INXS
Devil's Child - Judas Priest?
That Old Devil Called Love -- Ella Fitsgerald
Devil in Disguise -- Elvis
Me and the Devil Blues -- Robert J
Sympathy for the Deviil
Friend of the Devil -- Grateful Dead

This list was made before I embraced alt-country, americana, old-time country, and any sort of indie rock, but it's a neat time capsule of my late 80s collection.
