Human League "Rock 'n' Roll/ Nightclubbin'" has always been a favorite of mine.

Good call on the OMD one, WolverineSyr! I forgot all about that one!

Joe Jackson also had a tendency to mix all the songs on one side of the vinyl together, as well (Side One of "Night and Day" does this, as do both sides of "Blaze of Glory"). See, Bruiser, you're not the only one who thinks in terms of Side One and Side Two. [:D]

It's good to have this place back again! I've been dying for a week to write this! [:)]

Practically the entire XTC's Skylarking album:

"Summer's Cauldron" into "Grass"

"Ballet For a Rainy Day" into "1000 Umbrellas"

not just musically, but lyrically, they flow into each other brilliantly

On Depeche Mode's Black Celebration album you had the first (& title track) go into Fly On The Windscreen. AWESOME![8D]

"I want to take you in my arms, forgetting all I could'nt do today"

AWESOME!

You guys nabbed the good ones, but may I re-gush over the Human League's "Hard Times/ Love Action" 12" & "Rock and Roll/Night Clubbin'". Those are MY faves.

Dan Fogelberg's georgeous 'Tullamore Dew' / 'Phoenix' are one of my perennial AOR pairings.

As far as 80's era, I must give props to BAD and their vastly underrated and overlooked 'Megatop Phoenix'
The whole album is one seamless series of deft and fluid transitions, absolutely fabulous and my fave from them IMO.[8D]

Best concert I ever went to. Irving Plaza, NYC, 1986. I remember Mick Jones rapping off the cuff: "B.A.D. in N.Y.C.....!" It was insane! I WISH, I WISH, I WISH, I WISH, I WISH, they would do a reunion tour, put out a new album, everything - like so many other 80's acts have been doing for the past few years.. SUCH a great band.[^]

Joe Jackson - Happy Loving Couples/Throw It Away with the abrupt stop and "Roit, thot's 'nuff" leading into the jarring chords of the next song. Joe's 1st two albums are a lot of fun.

I will have to agree with Blir.

The Cars - Moving in Stereo/All Mixed Up

Have to mention the ending of "All Mixed Up" with Greg Hawkes on sax.

It's just beautiful.
