I've heard many a college radio schmuck play "Taxman" by the Beatles back-to-back with "Start" by the Jam, lamely attempting to assert a rather obvious connection.

Sometimes I hear some of those '80s Genesis singles - like "Abacab" or "Mama" - in their two-part long forms on the radio. But only rarely, and only if the DJ has to take a leak.

"you're all I've got tonight/bye bye" - i don't think i've ever heard these songs paired on the radio.

Root Down -> Sabotage should be one of these but I rarely heard either on the radio anymore.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 23 May 2019 05:50 (seven years ago)

Funeral for a friend -> Love Lies Bleeding

Is there an record where "She Smiles Sweetly" and "Ruby Tuesday" are played in sequence or does this only exist in Wes Anderson world?

― billstevejim, Thursday, 23 May 2019 05:59 (seven years ago)

Only in Wes Anderson world, I think.

On topic, a local Classic Rock station (now defunct) tried to make "Moby Dick"-->"Bring It On Home" a thing.
