For example, Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.
Primus has the four Fisherman’s Chronicles songs.
- John the Fisherman
- Fish On
- The Ol’ Diamondback Sturgeon
- Last Salmon Man
Another thing that might count as an example is that Wings’ Band on the Run and Helen Wheels both mention a character named Sailor Sam.
Edit: Added to post.
It’s post-Primus but Les also has Rumble of the Diesel about fishing. Dude just loves fishin
I’ve got to find a digitally saved copy of the original Cheesy Primus Home Video (I lost the VHS years ago) because it included ample footage of the band on a fishing trip.
Rush: Cygnus X-1 books I and II. More of a two-part story, but kind of fits the question.
For me it’s panic at the disco:
Part 1. Say Amen (2018)
Part 2. This is Gospel (2013)
Part3. Emperor’s new clothes ( 2015)
(Specially the vids they did are conected if you wanna watch them in that order.)
Don’t they also have some disc where the song titles complement each other, forming full sentences, or something similar?
Tool Parabol - Parabola
Sounds interesting, I shall listen to this 😎
ELP’s Karn Evil 9 is a pretty epic trilogy.
The first impression part 2 is what got played most often on the radio, but personally i think part 3 is where it shines.
I’m pretty sure that The Killers have two songs like that, with Mr. Brightside being followed by Miss Atomic Bomb.
Mr. Brightside always a banger 💯 will give the song a listen
The Smashing Pumpkins- “1979” and “Perfect”.
People said “Perfect” sounded so much like “1979” that the music video was intentionally made to be a sequel to the latter.
Didn’t they also have
The beginning is the end is the beginning & The end is the beginning is the end
?
“The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning” is an alternate version.
EDIT: The tracks on the single for “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” are all alternate versions.
Oh right on
To this day I still haven’t heard any of their songs, this might be the day I listen to their songs 😅
If you dive in, here’s one that I love that I feel is a bit of a departure from their more typical formula with some very pleasant strings
For that song I wouldn’t have chose these two parts. I would’ve gone for Part 1 and Part 3. Instead of a sequel Part 2 feels like a separate installment if you get what I mean.
Plus that’s kind of cheating. Is every prog song split into multiple parts considerable for this? Like also from Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here (the suite?) is split into two large sections, and the folksy Pigs on the Wing acts like a storybook introduction and ending split into two parts and put at the start and end of the album.
There’s a ton more examples like that. Especially on concept albums. The Beach Boys’/Brain Wilson has Wonderful, Song for Children (Look), Child is Father of the Man, and Surf’s Up exploring the same idea and building on top of one another.
There’s so many multi-part pink floyd songs it ain’t even funny. Its pretty much every single album except some of the early ones
Time > Great Gig in the Sky
That’s basically why they sued to not allow their songs to be sold as singles.
they what?
i agree but i think that one’s just a good transition
lol it’s a song about growing old followed by a song about death
The suite on Wish You Were Here (album) is called Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Hold up, tech noir… 2??? Thank you so much for introducing this to my life
Can’t say I’ve heard of them, but I will listen to these, thanks for your recommendation 🤘🏽
Radiohead’s Creep, My Iron Lung, and All I Need
Radiohead is good, now there’s more to add to my list 🔥
Rush B?
Cyka blyat?
I laughed at this more than I care to admit.
Always nice to hear I made somebody laugh 😂
I just recently learned that Mother Mother released “Hayloft II” in 2022, 14 years after the banger “Hayloft”
Amazing songs and my first real intro to this
360 and 365 from Brat By Charli xcx
Also, Haken’s full albums Virus and Vector are prequels to the song Cockroach King from their album The Mountain.
Ozzy had “Crazy Train” and also “A.V.H.” which contained the lyrics
Riding on a train that I can’t control
One might say such a train was… crazy.
All abooooooooaaard!! R.I.P. Ozzy frfr 😞
This also reminds me of Nelly, his song E.I. the line says “I’m a sucker for cornrows” and then his song Shake Ya Tailfeather “I’m still a sucker for cornrows you know I never changed that”
Cher then all the divas after her
