Its the same with me although I actually haven't ever cried because of music but I have come close . Rope Ends and Trace of Blood always bring me pretty close to tears. The Perfect Element(the album) also brings me close to tears along with the end section of Supper's Ready, especially the live version with Peter Gabriel.

Just Emo-Prog songs, like Dust In The Wind.

I've been through a lot accompanied by In the Court of the Crimson King. Somehow I had periods I felt deeply touched by some neo prog acts, mainly Arena.

Cry no but get teary ----lot's---Yes CTTE, Awaken, In the Presence of, Genesis---Lamia, Firth of Fifth guitar solo---even Me and Sarah Jane----and others---
Also happened in NYC at Madison Sq Garden Yes 35th anniversary concert----And You and I was so powerful and loud---and god Howe so into it---that at the big climatic last section the whole audience was on their feet cheering and Howe miked the slide guitar part and the crowd stood cheering for what seemed a long time----preventing Jon from singing the last little part----thousands on their feet still cheering a 35 year old group was very moving for me.

It has once. Not sure which tour, but one of the tours where Yes performed in-the-round-probably in the late 70's or very early 80's. They did an marvelous version of The Gates of Delerium and I got all teary when they started the Soon section. Interestingly, my younger brother, one of the least emotional people I know, also teared up at the same time.

Cry, no, but I have been moved by a great deal of music. Much of Vangelis' output, particularly Heaven and Hell, the ending of Entangled, the final line and fade out of Horslips' Book of Invasions. From Classical there is The Unanswered Question by Chrles Ives, the motets of Browne, Desprez, and Tallis, and the music of Hildegard von Bingen. There is more, but that's all that comes to mind right now.

All the F***ing time! That's the reason why Prog moves me so! I always cry towards the end of Yes-Awaken (GFTO) with Wakeman's organ interlude leading into the choral scat-vocals. God, that stuff is ethereal and not-of-this-world! Many tunes on Bainbridge's Veil of Gossamer move me to tears as well - such beautiful music! I can't think of all the prog music that moves me to tears right now, but 9 times out of 10, that is probably why it would be listed among my favorite prog - because it moves me to tears...

I think we might have done this before, but anyway - Prog: Gates of Delirium Supertramp - Don't Leave me Now Faun Fables - Pictures Marillion - Forgotten Sons Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Providence non-prog: Johnny Cash - Hurt
Val Stoecklein - Say it's Not Over Alina Simone - My Sadness Is Luminous CSNY - Carry On Roy Orbison - pretty much anything Harry Nilsson - Without You |

I can't think of any time a piece of music has actually made me cry. Yes, powerul music makes me emotional and moves me in a profound way, but I don't typically physically express this emotion. But I did get choked up listening to music once; I had just got the news that my grandfather was dying, and I was thinking about him as I put on "Beneath the Surface" by Dream Theater, and it was one of the saddest and most beautiful things I've ever experienced.

Some that make me cry the most are:
Bravado, Rush Postcard, Steven Wilson La Villa Strangiato, Rush Stars Die, Porcupine Tree Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel By the end of any VdGG or Gabriel-Genesis album, I 'll probably be crying because those are the most powerful albums I've ever heard. Pain of Salvation and A Perfect Circle and Tool will do the trick. Sometimes Circa Survive. Soon by Yes. The "Do you believe in the day" section of TAAB, and if Slipstream and a cheap Day Return were longer they'd do the trick. Thin Air by Anathema as well as The Beginning and The End. Hmm, Gilmour's guitar, especially High Hopes. King Crimson's Cadence and Cascade. An odd one is Chain Lightning by Rush. I have no idea why. Eriatarka, Halo of Nembuttals, Copernicus, and Roulette Dares by TMV, especially that guitar note about 4 minutes in. There are a lot!

Johnny Cash's Hurt is one of the most powerful songs ever, but I like to call it prog because it's a unique cover of a great progressive band's song.

i had bad experience with Dream Theater "Scenes from memory". I had injured my knee and was unable to walk, I was lying in the bed for 4 days, and listening the album. In the end there is a sound effect similar to "ziplock", and I was sleeping and had a gallucunation that I died, and my body is packed into that black bag for the bodies with ziplock... then I awoke from the nightmare and fugired out that DT record is still playin when I was sleeping, and this scary sound was actually from the record.
