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

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

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.

^ 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.

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, 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 ..... .

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

the tingling and excitement when certain prog songs reach their climax certainly has made me cry. yes's album Close to the edge comes particularly into mind with the vocal climax of the song (close to the edge). same with you and I.

Post-rock is a genre that continues to make me tear up.

Just today the tears ran down my face when I listened to Porcupine Tree's Lazarus.

Definetly, Dream Theater's Disappear made me tear up...but thats mostly because its about JL's death, and my mother died also.

I've been very close to do the same for Rick Wright
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
