    Three songs with one word in common in title.
    1.Barbra Streisand
    2.My Chemical Romance
    3.The Dream Academy

    Had to do some research. This fits, but may not be exactly what you are looking for.

    1. Barbra Streisand - All I Know Of Love
    2. My Chemical Romance - I Don't Love You
    3. Dream Academy - Lesson Of Love

    3-way mash-up (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs.
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    1. Bruce Springsteen
    2. James Taylor
    3. B.J. Thomas

    Superman and Batman could be called heroes.

    Are you saying the artist is Davy Jones and not the Monkees?

    Yes. @deckerp Bowie’s real name is David Jones. He changed it to Bowie to avoid confusion with the Monkee.

    This was such a timely post. Prophetic, even.

    I’ve had Rush in my record collection since the ‘70s. “A Farewell To Kings” was always a favorite. RIP Neil Peart.

    That's one. There is one more Queen connection with the Marx Brothers. (hint: album title/movie)

    Correct. Both Queen albums were titled after Marx Brother movies of the same name.

    Let's do more albums. That's kind of a lost art these days. Everyone buys or streams singles it seems.

    Boz Scaggs / men's tie + farenheight = [album]

    Ooh, I like it!

    I agree. Used to be you listened to the whole album. Got to know each track and how each song fit. Each song was just one part of the whole. No more than you'd watch just part of a movie, you didn't listen to a part of the album. You'd drop the needle, listen to a side, and then flip the record over. Checking out the album cover artwork the whole time, of course.

    Correct.

    I feel the same way about albums. There are so many gems you stumble across on albums. Some songs are hit single material and others are album tracks. That doesn't make one better than the other, just different.
