two of classic rock radio's staple two-fers:
led zeppelin's "heartbreaker" will almost always precede led zeppelin's "living loving maid"
queen's "we will rock you" will almost always precede queen's "we are the champions"
and on the modern-fading-into-classic rock tip,
green day's "brain stew" will almost always lead into green day's "jaded"
there is intelligence to all of these pairings (consecutive songs on their respective albums, similar themes / natural transition). as such, i'm sure there has to be other instances where the double-play is basically a given, but i'm coming up a little blank as i rack my brain. i want to say that the beatles' "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band (reprise)" tends to segue into "a day in the life" when played on the radio, though i'm not sure if this happens all the time, so it will have to remain an honorable mention for now.

sgt pep (the original) goes into with a little help from my friends, i think.
i think that maybe these pairings were released as singles together? i'm pretty sure with the green day one the video was "brain stew/jaded"
funny, i was at a coffee shop last night where they played the entire sgt. peppers album, and that pairing occurred to me when i heard it.
yep, i believe all those examples are packaged as singles together.
dark side of the moon is oozing with them:
"us and them/any color you like"
"brain damage/eclipse"
"breathe/on the run"
always hated "on the run," though. just made me feel like getting out of the car and hiding from police.
