Twofers
On most classic rock stations I've heard throughout my life, there are a few songs that ALWAYS get played together.
Three most notable in my mind are: We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions - Queen Waitin' on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin Maid - Led Zeppelin Any more that are coupled together on YOUR rock station? In your reply PLEASE indicate which station or at least the city/town where you hear these twofers. |
One time I was listening to 88.3 in San Diego and I was certain that they were playing Miles Davis but it turned out to be someone else once I looked it up. Does that count? I basically got the beginning of a Miles track and the back half of some other dude's track.

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" > "A Day in the Life" - The Beatles
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" > "With a Little Help from My Friends" - The Beatles "Long Distance Runaround" > "The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)" - Yes "Black Mountain Side" > "Communication Breakdown" - Led Zeppelin "Brain Damage" > "Eclipse" - Pink Floyd All of the classic rock stations in the New England area used to follow pretty much the same format and play the same songs and combinations/segues. Those were just the ones that I thought of at the moment (besides the three you mentioned) but there are lots of others. WBCN (Boston, MA), WAAF (Worcester, MA), WZLX (Boston, MA), WBLM (Portland, ME), WGIR-FM (Manchester, NH) and probably a few more I'm forgetting at the moment. I haven't listened to any of those stations in years, though. WBCN no longer broadcasts on FM radio and WAAF has switched its format so many times, I don't know what they play these days. I think the others are still classic rock stations and I'd be willing to bet they still play those combination/segues. |

^I remember JJ Jackson.^
WLUP in Chicago has been playing this since the beginning of time and frankly, I'm a bit tired of it: Eruption/That godawful Kinks tune that was bad enough when the Kinks did it. |
