Ask Lemmy

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.

Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy and Patterns in the Ivy II. The latter is so beautiful, could've easily been on BWP too imo

Cher then all the divas after her

Thomas D. of the German hip hop group Die fantastischen Vier has added more and more songs to his warrior trilogy over the years.

1. Krieger
2. Millionen Legionen
3. Mein Schwert

Metallica's My Friend of Misery and Inamorata

This might be a stretch. Mute - Walking on a Thin Line, which is the end of the album Remember Death, is the direct prequel to the song Resistance which actually starts the album. Its like it's there just to get you to listen to the whole thing again. Which you should. Its really good.

Falco's Jeanny and Coming Home.

Empty spaces > What shall we do now?

"What shall we do now?" Is basically the part 2 of "Empty Spaces" but was removed from the album as it wouldn't fit the vinyl.

The song is still present in the film, and a boxset if I recall

It depends if an ouverture counts, and how popular of a song.

Bad Religion has Ouverture before Sinister Rouge. They are different tracks but they merge together.

Also, one could argue that most of the songs on the album American Idiot by Green Day, are a prequel to the next one. The songs can be separated but they are parts of a story.

The Prodigy - Omen(Reprise)

Destiny Potato - The Buildup. It establishes most of the motifs used in Indifferent one track later on the same album.

Isn't My Bkyfriend's Badk a sequel to It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To? Or the other way around?

The Unforgiven and The Unforgiven II by Metallica

The first track in the album "diamond mine" which is a collaboration between Scottish singer King Creosote and producer John Hopkins. Absolutely fantastic album through and through but the first track is just ambience from a Scottish pub with the music very slowly coming in until it eventually seamlessly transitions into track 2 which is the "most famous" from the album. Just perfect.

Judy is a Punk and Return of Jackie &Judy by the Ramones. Also Havana Affair and This Ain’t Havana by the Ramones.

Veruca Salt, in Volcano Girls, they reference Seether.

Not really super well know ones, but:

Marianas Trench - Masterpiece Theatre album has Masterpiece Theatre I, II, and III on it. My favorite album of theirs. The songs from this album actually permeate the rest of their albums after this one.

Sleeping With Sirens - If you were a movie, this would be your soundtrack. A five part musical of sorts that's really well done.

Subway to Sally have a pretty popular song called Traum vom Tod II (Dream of Death 2). Took me years to find Traum vom Tod I.

Tim Armstrong was a guest on Bad Religion's Television, on Stranger Than Fiction. So I've always wondered if Radio by Rancid was a follow-up.

Rise Against's I Was A Teenage Anarchist feels a lot like a sequel to their Baby, I'm An Anarchist.
