  • It's a Long Way To Tipperary/Pack Up Your Troubles....
  • morph = 'segue' .. a smmmoooothhhh transition from one topic/tune to the next
  • one of the best ? .. Abraxas.. Santana .. from 'Black Magic Woman' to 'Gypsy Queen'
  • You should try listening to some mathcore. Never mind morphing into another song - sometimes there's about five different songs being played at once!
  • the Beatles' Abbey Road .. one continuous series of 'segues'
  • Streets of Sorrow / Birmingham Six - The Pogues
  • Its just mixing isn't it?

    mixing is a form of segue .. but so is for example an unbroken medley of songs sung live (medley, NOT melody)
  • It ain't necessarily the St James Infirmary (Zappa). A blend of Gershwin's It ain't necessarily so and The Saint James Infirmary Blues

  • The first side (in old money) of Todd Rundgren's A Wizard, A True Star is a psychedelically strange example of songs segueing into each other.
  • A Day in the Life

    some nice ones on

    Flaming lips - Yoshima battles the pink robots

    and of course Dark side of the moon
  • The Stranglers did it with Do you wanna? and Death and Night and Blood - not exactly song for Europe material but thunderous stuff all the same

    They certainly did!
  • I recognise that picture - the very album in fact! Absolute classic

  • Layla - Derek and the Dominoes
    The Killing of Georgie - Rod Stewart
    A lot of Queen tracks
  • Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?
    Many Pink Floyd, but the most notable to me seems to be Brain Damage/Eclipse that join so well it sounds bizarre when one comes up on shuffle without the other.
  • Marc Bolan / T.Rex - Raw Ramp [ Classic b-side /Get It On]

  • Don't know if this counts but Band On The Run by Wings segues through two very different musical moods before moving onto the main, best-known section of the song.
