    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'

    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.

    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

    Layla - Derek and the Dominoes

    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.

    Radiohead's Paranoid Android was originally two different songs.

    Gomez - In Our Gun - awesome electronic thing at the end has nothing to do with previous 5 mnutes.
