Occasioned by looking down at the bottom of the screen and realizing that the number of pages of threads in Cafe Society had reached that classic watermark, the diabolical trinity, six hundred sixty six.
The intention is to recognize the event with a “playlist” even Old Scratch might take an interest in. Any works from any art form are welcome; I’m simply sticking to music since it’s what I know best.
My submissions:
Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells (natch) in its entirety, so as to get the full range of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil!
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band “On The Dark Side”
Van Halen “Runnin’ With The Devil”
The Charlie Daniels Band “The Devil Went Down To Georgia”
Robert Johnson “Preaching Blues (Up Jumped The Devil)”
The devil is in the details, like the man said. Have at!
Hmm. I don’t know if that means I struck a blow for the dark side just in the nick of time, or that good will always win…

I expect that if I were to land in the netherworld, Meat Loaf will be playing a lot on Hell’s Muzak…so, yeah, sure, go for the whole albums.
Well, except maybe “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.” I kinda liked that one.
Oh, and speaking of Muzak, who better than The Devil’s own Grandmother would know that he likes elevator music? If that’s true, I nominate that version of “The Girl From Ipanema” from the elevator in both The Blues Brothers and Mallrats.

Someone in Shirley Ujest’s thread What is your favorite Christmas CD? (mouthbreather in post #40, to be specific) suggested the song “Xmas With The Devil” by Spinal Tap, and it’s too good not to include here as well. 'Tis the season, after all…
