Help me create a list of songs that are commonly played back-to-back, for example:
We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, by Queen
Funeral for a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding, Elton John
Eruption/You Really Got Me, by Van Halen
Found some here:
Heartbreaker & Living Loving Maid – Led Zeppelin
Load Out & Stay – Jackson Browne
Black Magic Woman & Gypsy Queen – Santana
Amie & Falling in and Out of Love – Pure Prairie League
Foreplay & Long Time – Boston
Brain Damage & Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Guess Who – No Sugar Tonight & New Mother Nature
ZZ Top – Waiting on the Bus & Jesus Just Left Chicago
The Grateful Dead had at least a dozen sets of songs that would fit this category:
Scarlet Begonias/Fire On The Mountain
Estimated Prophet/Eyes Of The World
Victim Or The Crime/Foolish Heart
China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider
Help On The Way/Slipknot/Franklin’s Tower
Too many to list here:
Grateful Dead:
Help on the way>Slipknot>Franklins Tower
Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain
China Cat>I know you rider
Alligator>Caution
Cryptical>drums>The Other One>Cryptical
Not fade away>GDTRFD>Not fade away (early 70’s)
Weather report suite prelude>Weather report suite 1>Let it Grow (WRS2)
Me and My uncle>Big River
None of these were ALWAYS done, but were typical.
Journey: Feeling That Way + Anytime
The Kings: This Beat Goes On + Switchin’ To Glide
Yes: Long Distance Runaround + The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/With a Little Help from My Friends
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)/A Day in the Life
The Abbey Road Medley.
Do You Think It’s All Right?/Fiddle About
St. Stephen/The Eleven
The Alan Parsons Project: Sirius / Eye in the Sky
This is cheating a bit but Van Halen’s Little Guitars has an intro that is technically a separate track.
Paul McCartney and Wings: Venus and Mars / Rock Show
Bob Seger: Traveling Man / Beautiful Loser
mmm
In addition to “Little Guitars (intro)”/“Little Guitars”, Diver Down also has “Intruder”/"(Oh) Pretty Woman", both of which were used in the video.
Does Sugar Mag./Sunshine Daydream fit?
Oh, and for the OCD out there, there’s a typo in post# 6: it’s GDTRFB.
Green Day, “Brain Stew/Jaded”
INXS - Need You Tonight/Mediate
The songs “blend” into one another, and the video is basically for both songs. A lot of people don’t even know that “Mediate” is a stand-alone song (separate track on the CD).
Soft Cell, “Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?”
Robert Palmer’s Marvin Gaye covers twofer: Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You.
Got one more: Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In by the 5th Dimension.
I always thought of this as a classic example. Leaving “You Really Got Me” off of their Best of Vol.1 album had me wondering if they did it to piss of their fans. Then on their “Best of Both Worlds” album they included both songs but failed to put them together. WTF?? Why would they do that?
