Sometimes I cry to Rush songs- because the lyrics get to me- (for example- Mission, Time Stand Still, and Noboy's Hero.)

Damn I love Rush

Also- parts to Holt's THE PLANETS

Any really good version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" .

crappy versions:  Me First & the Gimmee Gimmes, Tori Amos

pretty good versions:  Keith Richards, Thomas Newman

getting glassy-eyed:  Aselin Debison, Tuck Andress

And since I just realized none of these people are even remotely prog, will throw in 'Hope Leaves' (Opeth) too.

Have you ever heard Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's acoustic version? It's perfect.

And yes, I have cried to music. I'm not afraid to admit!

Not really over prog music, though. Neutral Milk Hotel and at times, The Decemberists are what give me waterworks.

Not actual tears, I guess but I have come close at various moments on 'In the Region of the Summer Stars' by The Enid, notably, 'Tower of Babel' 'The Lovers' and 'Judgement'

Also, 'The Pass' by Rush especially the line 'All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars'

Too many Genesis moments to re-call, but most actually from the Collins era to be honest. 'Mad Man Moon' 'One for the Vine' 'Afterglow' 'Undertow' 'Burning Rope' 'Dukes Travels' (I am the one..who guided you etc..)

Kate Bush, the first chorus on 'Running up that Hill' always gets me. Also 'The Ninth Wave' the whole suite brings a lump to my throat. Other songs include 'Blow Away' 'The man with the child in his eyes'

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

My dad cries often when listening music, ecpesially after a few beers.  I'm somehow jealous for him because of that, since I think I never really cried because of music. Sometimes crying is good for your health.

However there are some songs that bring me very close to tears:
 - Van Der Graaf Generator's Refugees. This is so beautiful, sad and still somehow hopeful song.
 - The Band's Whispering Pines. Not really prog, but what a beautiful song. There's also some personal memories which link to this song for me.

The songs that make me emotional usually link to theme of death (at least to me), since I've lost a few important persons in my life a few years ago.

Lift Your skinny fist like antennas, though i think im to cold-hearted to cry this piece manage to bring, if not tears, but certainly some emotions. (catharsis?)

another state of mind I have been expirence lately is that I have been having problem breathing while listening to "kind of blue"! That's  just plain weird isn't? Anyone else who have felt this way?

Haha and who said that boys never cry

When it comes to me.. i'm close to the tears (out of sadness) when I hear Stationary Traveller, and Ice- (Camel)

I cry for a joy listening to 'Summer' (of Blackfield),

Good call on Kate Bush, Blacksword. The two that get me are "Moments of Pleasure" and "This woman's work". The bit that really gets me on "The Ninth Wave" is when "Hello Earth" fades away and it goes into "The Morning Fog".

Britney Spears, Boyz to Men, Nsync, Backstreet Boys all make me cry because
they're so bad and their music so awful. Does that count?

'This womans work' excellent song!  I love 'Moving' from the Kick inside too.

Also the live version of Ashes are Burning by Renaissance is superb. Chopper, if you decide you like Renaissance, they try and get hold of 'Live at Carnegie Hall' it's got a 23 min version of AAB which will make your eyes water...
