** "Dreamer Deceiver" and "Deceiver" from ''Sad Wings Of Destiny''. Most online radio stations usually just play the latter, but still plays the coda, which is a reprise of the first song.

* Music/{{Coldplay}} used this trope twice on ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends''. First was between "Life in Technicolor" and "Cemeteries of London," but it happens again when "The Escapist" ends the album and flows right back into "Life in Technicolor."

* Music/MyChemicalRomance's "The Ghost of You" leads directly into "The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You" on their album ''Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge'', with the organ playing at the end of the former fading out as the drums at the start of the latter start to fade in. When "The Ghost of You" was included on its own on their GreatestHitsAlbum you get to hear the organ play for quite a bit longer before reaching a crescendo and cutting out, rather than just fading away as it did in the original. The song "The End." also directly leads into "Dead!"

If downloaded, they generally come as separate files; if ripped from a UsefulNotes/{{CD}}, they always do. Fortunately, there is software to combine them into one file, at least if they are in either {{UsefulNotes/MP3}} or open source formats, thus eliminating the annoyance of hearing what sounds like a song ending in the middle when playing songs in random order (shuffle mode).

Added King Crimson examples

Added DiffLines:

* Music/KingCrimson's "Formentera Lady" ends with a cymbal riff that continues in the intro to "Sailor's Tale".
** "VROOOM" and "Coda: Marine 475" are split on the ''THRAK'' album, but indexed as a single track on the earlier ''VROOOM'' EP.
** On CD releases of ''The [=ConstruKction=] of Light'', "Larks' Tongues in Aspic: Part IV" is split into three identically-titled tracks plus a fourth titled "Coda: I Have a Dream". Digital releases combine the four tracks into one, totalling at 13 minutes.
*** [=ProjeKct=] Four's ''West Coast Live'' does something similar with the two parts of "Ghost", respectively split into four and five identically-titled tracks on the disc.
** The ''Radical Action'' suite, consisting of "Radical Action (to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)", "Meltdown", "Radical Action II", and "Level Five"[[note]]from ''The Power to Believe'', also titled "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part Five"[[/note]], is usually split into separate tracks, though the ''Radical Action'' live album combines the former three into one track on streaming.

* Music/TheAlanParsonsProject has several, of which "Sirius" and "Eye in the Sky" are the most popular. "I Robot" and "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" also air together on occasion. Other examples include "Nucleus" and "Day After Day (The Show Must Go On)" (featured in the "Laseruim" show), "Children of the Moon" and "Gemini", and the triplets "Voyager, "What Goes Up..." and "The Eagle Will Rise Again".

Added DiffLines:

** There are also "Cinema" and "Leave It" from ''90125''. However, the single remix of the latter allows it to be played safely without the former, leaving it to the album's fans to appreciate the pairing.

* Music/{{RodStewart}} seems to have a Siamese pair with "Maggie May" and its guitar intro, but the whole thing actually is presented as a single song. The confusion is understandable, since Stewart also added a guitar intro to "You Wear It Well", but this time gave the intro its own name, "Interludings".

Moving Boston from pop to rock, fixing some wording.


* ''{{Music/Boston}}'' has "Foreplay" and "Long Time" at a combined 7:47. The (self-titled) album lists them as a single track.
** Boston also has "The Launch" and "Cool the Engines" from ''Third Stage''. Those two are the most obvious pairing, though really the entire concept mini-album of "We're Ready", "The Launch", "Cool the Engines" and "My Destination" all flow together.

* Music/{{Journey|Band}} recorded "Feeling That Way" segueing almost seamlessly into "Anytime", enough that radio stations almost always play them together. In an interesting aversion, the band originally paired "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" and "City of the Angels' the same way, but many fans and radio programmers weren't interested in the second song. Consequently, in the days of vinyl, radio listeners would sometimes hear a tiny sliver of "City of the Angels" as the DJ rushed to replace the record. Journey's record label "solved" this on some CD releases by adding extra silence between the tracks. Thankfully more recent releases have gone back to the original mix.

While all 7 tracks that make up the 2112 suite are strung together (and are often recorded as a single track onto a CD rather than as separate parts) the "Overture" and "The Temples of Syrinx" are almost ALWAYS played together on the radio and in concert.
