* ElectricLightOrchestra loved this one:
** "Eldorado Overture" from ''Eldorado'', which opens with Jeff Lynne reciting a "voice-of-God" prologue to the song over subdued instruments before the instrumental climbs to its climax.
** "Prologue" from ''Time'' does the same thing, though the buildup leads straight into the next track.
** "Fire On High," from ''Face the Music''.  Also potential NightmareFuel (at least for the first minute or so).
** "Tightrope" from ''A New World Record'' is similar to The Who example above, in that the instrumental is actually the first minute of the track.
** Ditto with "Secret Messages," from the album of the same title.
** "Ocean Breakup / King of the Universe" does the same yet again.
** ''Out of the Blue'' actually has two:
*** First is "Believe Me Now," which leads into "Steppin' Out."
*** The second one is part of the opening track to the four-song "Concerto for a Rainy Day" suite, starting with "Standin' in the Rain" (again integrated into the first two minutes of the song itself).
