What are songs that act like a prequel or a sequel to their more popular songs?
-
Sandstorm by Darude has a song right before it on his album called "the calm before the storm" and I actually enjoy it quite a bit.
Darude Sandstorm lore? Wow lol I'll keep this on my list to listen too
-
The Prodigy - Omen(Reprise)
Didn't know about this, I'll give it a listen

There's so many multi-part pink floyd songs it ain't even funny. Its pretty much every single album except some of the early ones
Time > Great Gig in the Sky
That's basically why they sued to not allow their songs to be sold as singles.

lol it's a song about growing old followed by a song about death

For example, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.
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.

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

They're not that popular compared to Pink Floyd or David Bowie, but there's a band called The Dear Hunter that have 5 albums called Act I through Act V that are one continuous story of a guy's life.
So in that sense every song on those albums are a sequel and prequel to every other, but some of the musical themes and motifs are more obviously reintroduced, referenced, and re-applied in new contexts as the albums go on.
They have albums that aren't those 5, which are not in the canon, by the way.

Anecdotally, I've heard The Police's Synchronicity II on the radio way, way more than Synchronicity I. They're both bangers though.

“The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning” is an alternate version.
EDIT: The tracks on the single for “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” are all alternate versions.
Oh right on

It's post-Primus but Les also has Rumble of the Diesel about fishing. Dude just loves fishin
I've got to find a digitally saved copy of the original Cheesy Primus Home Video (I lost the VHS years ago) because it included ample footage of the band on a fishing trip.

Not sure if this counts because it’s on the same album but on The Mountain Goats album Transcendental Youth starts with “Amy (AKA Spent Gladiator)” and the second to last track is “Spent Gladiator 2.”
Also, their album Jenny From Thebes is a sequel to their album All Hail West Texas.
Also also, there are a number of songs early in the discography that are about the same couple, culminating in the album Tallahassee.

The Alpha Couple!

They sued iTunes or so for selling songs as single downloads.

Would you say Gig is a sequel to Breathe?

For example, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.
Rise Against's I Was A Teenage Anarchist feels a lot like a sequel to their Baby, I'm An Anarchist.

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.
-
For example, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.
Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy and Patterns in the Ivy II. The latter is so beautiful, could've easily been on BWP too imo
