The other groups/artists that give me goosebumps are Steve Hackett (too many to mention) and IQ (the guitar at the end of headlong makes me think of Christmas, then to all the family and friends I've loved and lost....pre-cry!!!)


Really nice sentiments man. I like what you have said here and interesting how you feel about the ending of Headlong....Christmas huh? Interesting. :)

half akin to proto prog-ish prog related, but still, this track gets me crying:


It was actually orginally a The Byrds track, so it is vagely prog related. :)

I've had a hard moment this morning listening to High Hopes (Gdansk version) thinking to Syd.

I went to see Godspeed at the church by a fine summer evening and, yes indeed, I cried like a baby during ''Sleep''.

Marillion's performance of Brave in its entirety this past spring in Montreal moved me to tears.

All music that has passion brings a tear to my eye whether it is Andrea Bocelli or Dream Theater. The Spirit Carries On always gets me.

Genesis' Blood on the Rooftops is tragically nostalgic, really gets me every time. Actually a lot of Wind and Wuthering, actually. The buildup in One for the Vine, the ending interlude on Your Own Special Way, even Afterglow sometimes. It's just a really sad album.

Tender Surrender by Steve Vai last time I saw him live. Vocals are overrated sometimes.

Moved? Yes. Actually crying? Not often, but it does happen from time to time. Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear is... well, a tear-jerker.
Also, not prog, but I cried like a little girl when I heard Leonard Cohen sing "Take This Waltz" live...

And yes, I had some light tears that didn't want to leave my eyes.
Was it because I live with that music since 40 years?
Or was it because the beauty of this music is otherwordly... simply the music, I don't care for lyrics.
It is what it is. Emotions never answer such questions.

agree with you--Yes music is other worldly--and this can't be said of lot's of the rest of prog--I saw anniversary concert at Madison sq garden and was moved to tears at the amazing end of And u and I---it was because the song was so old and still sounded so amazing---that is an accomplishment in music.


Nice . This happens when music possesses you, or has become a sixth sense, not just the hearing but a visionary and emotional experience. And that without any drugs. Music itself is the drug.
This is one strong point in prog music, for sure.
