Certainly not prog, but  Albinoni's Adagio in G minor always ties my heart into knots. I've shared great heart aches with this beautiful piece of music.

Undoubtedly a masterpiece, as is Barber's Adagio.

Oh, "Glosoli" by Sigur Ros made me cry a few times, but I think I mostly blame a girl for that.

Von by Sigur Ros makes me weep a bit every time I hear it.

Hey, yes ! That's the one I heard on "Platoon" ! I was wondering what that was and who it was by ... before I would have gone to IMDB.com . Outstanding track. Just ..... .

Keith Emerson's solos in Tarkus made me cry...Ouch
 
But seriously, a lot of Genesis makes me "pre-cry". Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, The Lamia, etc. Blood on the Rooftops also makes me "pre-cry" but if it was Peter singing I'd surely cry an ocean. Softer Jethro Tull songs makes that effect to me sometimes. Yes, Harmonium (a lot), Gentle Giant in some soft Kerry songs, etc.

^ Hey, man, I cry when I don't hear prog too. Aside from SOYCD (pt. 9), I cried twice to The Bee Gees' 'Take Hold Of That Star' and Chopin's 'Nocturne in C#m (Posthumous)' ... but that's probably a kind of a discussion best suitable for a different thread.

Anathema has some very deep music (A Natural Disaster, We're Here Because We're Here, Weather Systems). The entire genre of Post-Rock (Sigur Rós, Mono, GY!BE, Explosions in the Sky, Mogway) is so f***ing sad and beautiful tooCry. Also, Radiohead, but this is no news Embarrassed.

I felt kind of internally upset when I first heard "Epitaph" from ItCotCK. The way Lake sings "I fear tomorrow I'll be crying" has so much emotion in it.

I've always had something against King Crimson but recently that irrational behavior has stopped. I just can't listening to "Epitaph", it's so emotional...

Other works that can really grab me when I'm in the mood is for example "Long Distance Runaround" and "Heart of the Sunrise" from Fragile, or the passage in "Close to the Edge" that goes "Seasons will pass you by...". It just feels so... grand and overwhelming. However, when it comes to albums, there is no album more emotional to me than Pink Floyd's "The Wall". That album doesn't make me cry, it makes me shiver through my whole body. Watching the movie I just can't remember how to behave as a normal person, I literally creep myself out. 

Other favorites that feel just right to listen to when I'm feeling down and just want to cry:
That's me - Genesis
Two Suns in the Sunset - Pink Floyd
Yet I Must be Something - Areknamés
Don't Move - Areknamés
If - Pink Floyd

... you get my point, I often get emotional when it comes to music I guess :P

I defy anyone to listen to this piece of music with dry eyes - beautiful.

Prog has made me cry on various moments... Well, perhaps the "pre-cry", but, anwyay:

- The guitar solo on Marillion's "Ocean Cloud"
- From Marillion's "Runaway" ... the part where H sings "So you cower in the town's forgotten places......."
- The guitar solo from "High Hopes"
- The keyboard madness at Transatlantic's "Is It Really Happening?", towards the end
- Sax solo on Phideaux's "Snowtorch"
- From "And You and I" .... towards the end "Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid!!....."
- Also from "And You And I" ... the slide guitar solo that Howe plays live
- From "In The Presence Of" ... "And you'll understand why .... you'll understand whyyyyy <guitar solo>"
- Tull's "Black Sunday" ... really love this song altogether

I'll stop now, else I'll be seen as a lady! lol !! Cool

The songs in prog that make me cry are "Epitaph" by King Crimson; "Take A Pebble" by ELP; and "The Night Watch" by King Crimson

I'm not given to overt displays of emotion but there are moments in Ramases' 'Glass Top Coffin' that really strike home.  The album has, to my mind, a unique tone: one I can best describe as defiantly elegiac.  By that I mean it isn't sombre or depressing - it is largely positive in spirit and at times quite upbeat - but it has a sort of resigned fatalism, almost as if Ramases knew it would be the last thing he'd ever record.

And when you learn some of the scant facts about his life, it takes on a poignancy that is extremely moving.

"Hanging on in quiet desperation. Is the English way. The time is gone. The song is over. Thought I'd something more to say..."

of course.

I also have a friend, who's dad cannot listen to peter hammill's "over" unless the circumstances are just right

Yes, with Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons and The Best of Times. Also with Neal Morse's Heaven in my Heart.
