I've never broken into tears, but there are moments when I feel that if I was a little more prone to crying I'd probably shed a tear or two. I don't know any specific songs really, a few years ago I remember choking up a little when I was listening to Peaches en Regalia.

Years ago at Madison Square Garden-Yes in the round-played an amazing version of Gates of Delirium. When they began the "Soon, oh Soon" section, I just lost it. It was incredible after all the tension and power of the instrumental section.

the 4th movement of Mahler's 9th symphony brings tears to my eyes, especially when conducted by Bernstein

think this is because: progressive rock is emotionally COMPLEX, like classical music. Popular music is more touching than classical/prog because it's SIMPLE, straight to the point. Of course it's just me; I'm sure the classical fans and some progheads will say the exact opposite
This sentence or phrase is absolutly non sense not to say more. Popular music is much touching, really. I like popular music at some point, but to say that a music is less touching because is complex, is total crap.   I can can writte here at least 10 prog pieces that will turn your eyes in waterfalls. I voted few times. One of the pieces that always will bring tears in my eye is Entagled from Genesis, specialy the last part of the tune. VDGG has at least 2-3 tracks that are beyond anything else, etc

Agree. Try Sad Rain for example.

I don't think. But there are albums which are full of emotions and that I adore. Mostly jazz.
Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Hancock's Mwandishi
Davis' Kind of Blue, Ascenseur and Birth of the Cool
I am feeling a lot more of emotion when I'm seeing musique actuelle live. Progressive albums that move me could be these.
Guapo's Black Oni
Shub Niggurath's Les morts vont vite
Sotos' Platypus
Julverne's À neuf
Present's Trisakaïdekaphobie
VDGG's Still Life

Helmut Koellen's song "Playin' This Song Together"-brings me to tears almost every time
also in the classical music world-the ending of the final movement of Anton Bruckner's 5th Symphony-incredibly emotional

Few times. Amongst them the most special would probably be Klaatu - Hope. So beautiful. And beauty in arts sometimes is too big that it brings me to tears. It's natural.

Mr. Jones by Counting Crows and Drive all Night by Bruce Springsteen were the only songs to bring me to tears, was probably the events going on in my life at the time and the poignancy of the music at that given moment

No, but the ending of the Hazards of Love comes close. I want to cry every time someone plays a Dragonforce song while I'm around, but I don't think those are the kind of tears the TC is referring to.

Kansas' "Lamplight Symphony" and "Rainmaker," Genesis' "Supper's Ready," Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" and "Wish You Were Here," Explosions in the Sky's "First Breath After Coma," Steve Walsh's "Serious Wreckage," and especially Big Big Train's "Victorian Brickwork," all have at least once.
But Transatlantic's "Bridge Across Forever" is the only song that I've never once been able to listen to without tearing up.  It's just so beautiful... |

More times than they should, I'm a sucker for emotional rock operas and I've about been brought to tears by Snow, Quadrophenia, The Wall, and Dark Side of the Moon. Also when going through a breakup (someone said that earlier) Peter Hammill's Over brought me to tears. One album that really plucks my heartstrings is The Dear Hunter's Act III: Life and Death mainly the ending.
EDIT: Also when I'm feeling depressed the songs Radiohead's No Surprises and Syd Barrett's Wouldn't You Miss Me? (Dark Globe) really hit me hard.
