The Moody Blues’ I Know You’re Out There Somewhere is a sequel to Your Wildest Dreams.

Rick Wakeman came out with the progressive rock Return to the Center of the Earth twenty five years after Journey to the Center of the Earth. (And Patrick Stewart is cooler than David Hemmings was) Don’t think of it as an album, but a really long song. It’s not like Bat out of Hell and Back into Hell.
Thanks for this info. I’m a huge fan of El Paso and El Paso City but had no idea Feleena existed. (So she killed herself when the cowboy died… who knew?)
Not sure if its a true sequel, however Chris De Burgh’s song Devil’s Eye references his song Spanish Train where the Devil says he cheated on the Spanish Train.
I always think of Del Shannon’s “Hats Off to Larry” as a sequel to “Runaway.” I don’t know if I’m right, but man, I love that bitter tone when Larry dumps his woman. 
The Guns & Roses trilogy of videos for *Don’t Cry, November Rain[i/] and *Estranged[i/] certainly imply a continuous story arc.
I don’t know if Aerosmiths videos for *Cryin, Amazing , [i/]and *Crazy[i/] are supposed to be sequals or if they just happen to have Alicia Silverstone.
Another pair of segue songs is Pure Prairie League’s “Amie” and “Falling In and Out of Love”.
Several people recorded “Hot Rod Lincoln”, which was a follup to “Hot Rod Race”.
Also “The Return of the Red Baron” and “Snoopy for President”.
As a fan of your writing, consider the pleasure all mine, Sampiro.

Rush has a couple of them:
Cygnus X-1 was on the Farewell to Kings LP, which was then followed by the Hemispheres LP, the title song Hemispheres is the sequel to Cygnus X-1. On second thought, it’s actually kind of a PREquel.
They also had the Fear trilogy which included three songs from three consecutive LPs, Witch hunt, The Weapon, and The Enemy Within
I think there’s another one, but I can’t remember what it is.
Neil Sedaka wrote “Oh Carol” for his high school girlfriend Carol Klein. She responded with “Oh Neil” (and went on to become Carol King).
Steve Lawrence had a #1 hit in 1962 with the Gerry Goffin/Carole King tune “Go Away Little Girl.” Joanie Smith answered that song with “I Won’t Go Away Little Boy.” I don’t think that song ever charted.
Jimmy Dean followed up his 1961 smash hit “Big Bad John” with the completely forgettable “Little Bitty Big John.”
Cowboy Junkies:
“Misguided Angel” and “Angel Mine”
Maybe I’m reaching, but…
Southern Man by Neil Young
and in response

Sweet Home Alabama* by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hey! I was sure I’d be the only one to think of the Roxannes! There’s also the answer song to TLC No Scrubs called No Pigeons by the Sporty Theivz. Shoulda been called No Chickenheads but some people just don’t have the balls.
I just pulled out my Thomas Dolby albums, and I realized that " Europa and the Pirate Twins"1 had a sequel, in the form of "Eastern Bloc"2.

Enya’s “Oronoko Flow”, followed by “On my way home”. The lyrics are somewhat thematically connected, but if you listen closely in the background on “On my way home”, you can faintly here the chorus to “Oronoko Flow”.
Probably a radio interview on NPR. Probably 10-15 years ago, too.
