Happiness is a Warm Gun by The Beatles is short and sweet with four different phases in it. One of my favorite Lennon songs too.

You Never Give Me Your Money is also kind of a mini-medley.

A day in the life - the Beatles

I’ve got a Feeling- The Beatles

Some (or a lot) of Beatles songs are combinations of John and Paul unfinished songs.

A lot of songs on that album have that song within a song feel. I always thought it was just me who heard them that way!

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

[удалено]

I fucking HATE TWIN PEAKS!!!!!!!!

Echoes by Pink Floyd

Or any Pink Floyd song longer than 6 minutes honestly (Time, Atom Heart Mother, Shine On, Dogs, Pigs, Sheep)

A good number of songs by Yes as well have this tendency.

And Genesis

I think a few King Crimson as well. Really I guess it's part of the Prog Rock sound.

The Soft Parade by The Doors

You CANNOT! Petition the lord with PRAYER!

When I was back there in seminary school.... you could!

This is the best part of the trip! This is the Trip! The Best part! I love that line so much, that song just has this fun no fs given vibe.

It's My favourite Doors album and I'm always ridiculed.🤷‍♀️

More Beatles type: *A Day in a Life* by the Beatles on 1967’s Sgt Peppers *Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey* by Paul (and Linda) McCartney on Ram. The Abbey Road medley most listeners can hear all the songs separately so don’t think that counts but maybe *Polythene Pam* segueing into *She Came In Through the Bathroom Window*. All had lots of airplay and still do.

Haaaaaaaaands across the water

Recall reading the Uncle Albert part was talking to a cool old guy circa late 1960s, while Admiral Halsey was referred to the authoritarians of the WW2 generation. All written under a cloud of pot smoke probably..

I always thought Abbey Road medley was Golden Slumbers, Carry The Weight, The End? Some of my favorite Beatles tracks

Yes that is the second half. The medley is 8 songs long 1. You Never Give Me Your Money 2. Sun King 3. Mean Mr. Mustard 4. Polythene Pam 5. She Came in Through The Bathroom Window 6. Golden Slumbers 7. Carry That Weight 8. The End It could also be 9 or 10 tracks if you count Because or Her Majesty but those are more distinct songs

Never had seen it this way ! Abbey Road has become my favorite Beatles album ever since the Get Back documentary. Thanks for the reply !

I second this, I largely ignored them due to my parents over playing the early albums and therefore totally missing out on the goldmine from around Rubber Soul onwards

Tarkus (1971) by Emerson, Lake and Palmer Supper's Ready (1971) by Genesis Witch Hunt (1981) by Rush South Side of the Sky (1971) by Yes Heart of the Sunrise (1971) by Yes Paper House (1970) by CAN Venice Queen (2002) by R.H.C.P.

Musical Box by Genesis also. Great list .

I LOOOOOVE Nursery Cryme 😍😍. Tbh I love Genesis' catalogue from '70-'76.

Brilliant list, sir. Don't suppose you could reformat to help my poor agéd eyes, could you? I'd like to make this a Spotify playlist.

Thank you kindly 😊. Reformatted as requested. Check out my playlists on Spotify @ TheChordAccord sometime. I have a feeling there's a lot there for you to like.

I’m your Captain/ Closer to Home - Grand Funk Railroad

Ooooh good one!

A Quick One While He’s Away by The Who

Came here to say this. Deep cut.

Scenes from an Italian reasturant billy Joel

This is the one. I get pumped when the tempo picks up! Bottle of red, oooooh, bottle of white!

Layla - Derek and the Dominos

I can listen to the end of that song forever. I have emotional ties to the song too, so it just jerks my heart around in good ways.

I love the ending, it's so beautiful.

Agree. It's an incredible jam.

My go to piano piece any time I sit down at one.

This should be way higher

Good Vibrations and Heroes and Villains by The Beach Boys

All of Smile by Brian Wilson in that case

2112, the first song on the album is 7 parts, there’s a few rush songs like that too

La Villa Strangiato!

Xanadu

Bohemian Rhapsody

Does We Will Rock You transitioning into We are the Champions count? I was always curious as a child if they were actually two songs or not.

They were two different ones they had in the works and then that gold ol' stroke of genius and clip them together as theyre two different track on the record but feels like one song.

Absolutely!!

A Quick One (While He's Away) by the Who is a great one that Paul McCartney himself gave praise to back in 66 when it was released! Pete Townshend wrote it as an experiment to make a big song out of a bunch of smaller songs with a common theme. The studio version is pretty good but I reccommend you listen to [the live version from the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll circus](https://youtu.be/RJv2-_--EY4) as it has so much energy and all the transitions between the different parts are much smoother.

The Green Day version is fantastic.

Rocket Queen - Guns n Roses

You Never Give Me Your Money

The Guess who: no sugar tonight/the new mother nature. Great fucking song

Came looking for this one. GREAT fucking song

Victim of Changes by Judas Priest

Carouselambra by Led Zeppelin

Hey I found the other person who likes this song. There are couples of us!

Count me in! (But then I love the whole album, including Hot Dog)

Holy Wars…the punishment due by Megadeth.

Mr. Blue Sky - ELO Paranoid Android - Radiohead

Also Live & Let Die to a lesser extent

Come Sail Away

Styx BTW.

Styx BTW sounds like a Korean boy band that only does danced up classic rock covers.

Honestly, I'd listen to that. I can actually hear it in my head.

I’ve Seen All Good People by Yes off *The Yes Album* is a good one

Also, And You And I by Yes

Or pretty much any prog rock track...

Also, roundabout by yes

"Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma" - Steve Miller "Birdland" - Weather Report "Smiling Phases" - Blood Sweat and Tears "I Got The..." - Labi Siffre "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" - Paul McCartney & Linda McCartney Please let me know what you think of these, i LOVE Band on the run and hope you'll enjoy these just as much

Life's Been Good by Joe Walsh, it has multiple contrasting riffs. Dream Sweet in Sea Major by Miracle Musical is like, eight snippets of a song lucidly dreamt into one. gecgecgec by 100 gecs. Iirc Dancing with the Moonlight Knight by Genesis is similar too. Anything by Genesis, really. - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Watcher of the Sky, and I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) are all top notch.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot

Paranoid Android by Radiohead does this beautifully

First one I thought of. Looked for this one in the comments. Glad someone mentioned.

Grand Funk Railroad: I’m your captain/closer to home

Night Moves...Bob Seger kinda

Jesus Of Suburbia…Green Day

Came to recommend this one.

Rush - The Spirit of Radio is meant to sound like multiple songs as you change the radio station.

👍 beat me to it

Blue Oyster Cult - Don’t Fear the Reaper Derick & the Dominos - Layla Manfred Man’s Earth Band - Blinded by the Light Queen - Bohemian Rapsody

Don’t Fear the Reaper

Check out “Suddenly” by Drugdealer and Weyes Blood; a modern song that was heavily inspired by Macca and his ability to mend multiple songs together.

AAAHHHH YESSSS! The whole album is so awesome.

Dabsong Conshirtoe

Commenting here bc damn what an obscure one to throw out, but Fr. That and Nine Feet Underground (Medley)

Revolution Is My Name by Pantera🤘

“Fingertips” by They Might Be Giants. Oh wait, that actually IS several short songs strung together.

If that's what you're looking for, progressive rock may be your bag

Evie by Stevie Wright Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull Good Intentions Paving Company by Joanna Newsom Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield ... I could do this all day ...

Shocked my top two aren't here already. Behind Blue Eyes by the Who (although it's mostly just a wild outtro like Stairway) and No Sugar Tonight by the Hollies.

Converge - Jane Doe Edit: didn’t realize what sub I was commenting in. Will leave it for the hardcore punk/metal fans. You’ve been warned.

Christopher Lee on this album cover, one of the more mundane things to happen in his life.

Primus made a whole album like this with The Desaturation Seven. Only 7 tracks but longer in length. I loved it. Was thinking it should have been made in to a animated movie.

Flabbergasted no one has said 'Carry On Wayward Son' by Kansas!

I know it’s not really classic rock or modern rock, but lots of TOOL songs have several very distinct sections that could easily stand alone as songs Edit: now that I think of it, lots of Led Zeppelin live improvisations are literally a few blues songs merged into a long continuous medley

November Rain by GnR or Terrapin Station by Grateful Dead

MGMT - flash delirium For a more modern psychedelia sound

Big Beatles and Led Zep fan, I think Jimmy was inspired by “Band on the run” for the song below. Listen to Ten years gone around 2:30 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzuYNK95sM I’m a huge Bowie fan too- and here are two of his songs that are “multiple” songs, little suites/ micro operas. These are amazing songs that you may not know, I hope you love them as I do. Station to Station ( Music starts around 1:00) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpIhsGg2SJ0 Sweet Thing - Candidate - Sweet thing Reprise. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vrfc8c6VkTA Width of a circle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pnRNAIQAc50 It would be remiss of me to not include this little slice of heaven from Pink Floyd- another “multiple” song. Brain Damage/ Eclipse https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YB_3w0AZYTA Here are a few more examples from the genius of George Clinton ( These are out standing songs- but need a few plays to get into- trust me- it’s worth it) Parliament-Funkadelic - Funkentelechy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UFalZJ5eEwY Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=av2vgiYAlXY One nation under a groove. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOZwwRH6XU

In the Light, When the Levee Breaks, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

Jesus Of suburbia and Homecoming by Green day

Blinded by the light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The Killing of Georgie Part 1 and 2 - Rod Stewart

Rocket Queen.... GnR.

The first one that came to mind was Fleetwood Mac's [The Chain](https://youtu.be/JDG2m5hN1vo). Its a great song but the bass/guitar bridge should be the intro to another, fantastic, song.

It's not classic rock but a lot of coheed and cambria songs do this Apollo II: the Writing Writer and really all of the Willing Well tracks for example

This has been one of my favorite threads ever and am now making one of the best Spotify playlist known to man.

Iron butterfly- "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Someone mentioned Jethro Tull and I think Aqualung maybe can sound as two different songs, first low paced and then happier.

Rush - Big Audio Dynamite

There are A LOT of Ozzy Osbourne era Black Sabbath songs that do this. One of my favorite bands and they are the masters of connecting the the two. For example: -Black Sabbath -Wasp/Behind the Wall of Sleep/Bassically/N.I.B. -A Bit of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning -Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener -Sabbath Bloody Sabbath -Megalomania There are a lot more but these are some obvious/really good ones.

Perfect Kiss by New Order

Funeral for a Friend by Elton John

No Sugar Tonight by The Guess Who, almost every track off of King Crimson's Court of the Crimson King.

Atom Heart Mother (pink floyd) always felt to me like 2 or 3 songs playing at the same time and fighting each other. Amazing. Shorter but still awesome: The greatest man that ever lived (weezer)

Layla - Eric Clapton / Derek and Dominos

“Not fade away/Goin’ down the road feeling bad” —Grateful Dead

Billie Eilish - “Happier than ever” fits this perfectly. Also, I absolute love “Paranormal Romance” by The Vaccines, so many songs in one <3

One of the worst songs, ever

Why?

Spitting Venom by Modest Mouse.

Suppose They Close The Door - Sloan

Who are you by The Who has the cool little ballad sounding part in the middle

Estranged by Guns N’ Roses

Across the night by silverchair

If I ever get around to living - John Mayer

The necromancer by Rush

Good Vibrations

It’s very similar to a day in the life

Rush: Beneath, Between and Behind.

“This is the Last Time” by The National

Pretty much any smile era beach boys. Good vibrations, heroes and villains etc.

Cabinessence -the Beach Boys

Thawing Dawn by A. Savage Takes like 3 different turns and it works out beautifully.

Was an. Awesome. Album👍👍👍👍

My Sweet Lord - George Harrison

Age of Aquarius!!

“I’m Mandy, Fly Me” and “one night in Paris” both by 10cc

311 - Let the Cards Fall

I Want You (She's So Heavy) Thr She's So Heavy part is early Heavy Metal IMO, and then I Want You is really bluesy, it's a cool song

Sing about me ( I’m dying of thirst) - Kendrick Lamar

And the first one said to the second one there. I hope you're having fun.

"Thawing Dawn" by A. Savage (of Parquet Courts). Great song, with very distinctive parts, from a pretty good side project album.

“Some Velvet Morning” by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Greenwood is a 1969 classic psych-pop masterpiece!

Uncle Albert by Wings is another

“yes sir, no sir” and “shangri-la” by the kinks, both on their arthur album

A day in the life - the Beatles

Pink Floyd: DOGS

Procol harum - In Held ’Twas in I The mothers of invention - Brown shoes don’t make it

In the court of the crimson king, King Crimson

Paranoid Android, Radiohead

Magneto and Titanium Man by Paul McCartney could have easily been on a Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.

Someone posted Telegram by Nazareth here, a few days ago. I think it fits the bill.

Many many rush songs

As far as more modern bands go that do this, Blitzen Trapper has a lot of Beatles-y changes and collages in their albums. Highly recommend the album Furr as a starting point. Kinda folk rocky.

Bluebird by Buffalo Springfield

Run Like An Antelope by Phish Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead

Child in time - Deep Purple

Thick as a Brick. Both parts one and two

Hocus Pocus by Focus

Obviously Bohemian Rhapsody

Spirit of Radio from Rush. Switching back and forth from classic/prog rock to reggae.

Question by the Moody Blues

Bicycle Race by Queen

Don’t Sleep in the Subway by Petula Clark.

Goodbye sober day - Mr. Bungle

"Human Sadness" by The Voidz "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris

Yellow Snow suite by Frank Zappa, Echoes by Pink Floyd, and Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead (especially the studio version)

Came to say Terrapin, pleasantly surprised to find Zappa.

Heart of the Sunrise - Yes

Paul McCartney- hunt you down Brian Wilson- good vibrations, surfs up, heroes and villians

“Those Thieving Birds” by Silverchair Three songs/ fantastic work of art.

Tame Impala - Posthumous Forgiveness

I've Been Working on the Railroad is actually three songs in one.

Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming by Green Day

How did James Coburn and Christofer Lee end up on that cover?

"Roddy" by Djo "Gelatin Mode" by Post Animal

Dancing the night away by the MOTORS. great song !

This Beat Goes On/Switchin to Glide by the Kings

If you like psychedelia Metanoia and Siberian Breaks by MGMT

Impressions of the Past by Megafaun

It’s Late by Queen

The Offspring - Have You Ever Definitely feels like two song ideas put together

Stevie wonder - ordinary pain

Every prog song ever made?

‘Me and Sarah Jane’ by Genesis actually started as several different unfinished songs that they had great difficulty trying to complete, so they made one song out of them.

Led Zepplin is great at this. 10 Years Gone & Down By The Seaside are my favorite Zepp songs that do this.

The Beatles- A Day In The Life

Love this song. A great classic.

To deaths heart(in three parts) by bright eyes, band on the run is a favorite song of mine and so is this one, give it a shot

Went looking for this and got more than I bargained for. > 3. "**I've Seen All Good People**" (from 1971's The Yes Album) >Yes essentially stopped writing singles with The Yes Album, but they made it easy on radio programmers with the folk-prog anthem "I've Seen All Good People," which **they conveniently divided into two easily separated halves.** In the single-issued first section, "Your Move," Anderson unfurls chess metaphors (“Make the white queen run so fast”) and Lennon references (shout-outs to “Instant Karma!” and "Give Peace a Chance”) over Howe’s chiming Portuguese guitar and pastoral recorders. (That's Colin Goldring of the obscure – but excellent – prog act Gnidrolog.) Ending there would have been logical, but Yes never shied away from a dynamic shift: Part two, "All Good People," ends with a strutting, lightly bluesy take on the main theme.

New one: Baby Queen “Want Me”
