Jigsaw by Marillion.  You can just feel the misery of a relationship ending as Fish sings, "Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye"...

what always works is John Carson when he cries out "does it matter to you" on Arena's "Solomon" ...

And for sure Fish belongs to that list with a lot of songs, but probably the most emotional songs are "Cliche" from "Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors" and "Sugar Mice" from his Marillion days.

Genesis' Chamber of 32 doors. The pairing of Peter's heartfelt vocals and the piano is a thing of real emotive beauty.

It tends to be the vocals more than the songs so I could pick a whole load of things featuring Greg lake, John Wetton, Pete Nicholls (IQ), Roger Hodgson, Rick Davies and Justin Hayward. The last two also happen to come from my home town which is a nice coincidence. How about these for starts:

Question - Moody Blues
Epitaph - King Crimson
Take The Long Way Home - Supertramp (or anything else from Breakfast In America)
The Magic Roundabout - IQ
Fallen Angel - King Crimson

I think much of the italian prog is full of this emotion just as an example:
locanda della fate (or quella vecchia locanda, don't know italian :() - Forse le lucciole no se amano piú

Formula 3 - babina sbagliata

and the others, like:
vdgg- pilgrims
           refugees
           the plague of the light house...

Neal morse - the ? Album

Dream theater - the root of all evil
                            one last time
                            octavarium
king crimson - moonchild
                         fallen angel
and there's a very emotive song by the brazilian prog-related band 14 bis, that is carrossel. I almost go to tears every time it's played...

There are a lot of Yes songs that have much emotional significance to me.

Close to the Edge
And You and I
To Be Over
The Revealing Science of God
Into the Lens
Wonderful Stories
Turn of the Century 
Onward
Hearts
Hep Yadda
Final Eyes
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.
