I'll second that, and add "IN the Mist of Morning" by NORDAGUST and the Finnish group TENHI, with a preference for the first 3 albums

Dream Theater's song "Space Dye Vest" should work wonderfully.

I think people are forgetting what the OP is asking for, which is sad/emotional prog from the 60s and 70s.

Van der Graaf Generator - House With No Door
Peter Hammill - This Side of the Looking Glass Amon Düül 2 - Jalousie Robert Calvert - Hero With a Wing Robert Calvert - Catch a Falling Starfighter the Robert Calvert songs are a double-edged sword though; the music is certainly very sad but the lyrics are quite satirical Edited by BaldJean - August 03 2016 at 03:48 |

Oh yeah, I had forgotten that. On my previous post I did inculde mostly 70's prog though. Still, Space Dye Vest might be worth checking out. |

Sylvan's Posthumous Silence is one of the saddest and emotional prog concept albums I have heard with a bit of despair and hope thrown in.
(OK not 60/70's but it is 10 years old).

Two more suggestions. The Italian band Quella Vecchia Locanda. VERY emotional and I don't know Italian. Barclay James Harvest. Not frightfully prog but definitely very sad and emotional again. Esp the song Mocking Bird.

I second this. Their self-titled debut is very moving, and their second album, Il Tempo Della Gioia has some melancholy stuff on it, too.

We can certainly add Look into the Sun to the Tull list of sad songs. Edited by Watchmaker - August 08 2016 at 02:58 |

Some other suggestions I have are After The Flood by Van Der Graff. Prog songs about floods are usually good.
A bit strange but I also suggest most of Ramases' Glass Top Coffin. It has that 50's/60's filmscore vibe on Golden Landing (parts 1 & 2). Sweet Reason and Only the Loneliest Feeling are good too. Probably one of the few prog albums to make me feel emotional.

Maybe not 'prog' but Changes by Black Sabbath works well too.

Silent Corner and the Empty Stage ... is specially emotional and brutal ... and excellent at the same time. And still stands as one of my favorite PH albums! In general, I do not like to characterize albums this way, since it is all an individual perception. I mean, PH is strong, but that's like saying that Bob Dylan's cynicism is not a sharp knife! The real question is, how it translates into a piece of music. In general, I do not like to consider things "sad" ... because many times they are an anthem/hymn to that person and a true prayer in the best intention of the word. Otherwise, Fairport Convention's One More Chance (Rising for the Moon album), will be the saddest things ever recorded, since Sandy Denny did not have one more chance and passed away shortly after. And if you hear the remastered version of her doing this song on piano, it is the scariest thing ever. It was almost like she knew already and was hoping to get a 2nd chance! Not only sad, but also scary!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
