Pink Floyd's "Time" almost gets me everytime, but it's more a kick in the butt than pussy weeping.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

I had a dream last night, in which I was crying listening to "Sacrified Sons". I wasn't moved by the song alone though, but also by the fact that so many Score songs were from Octavarium and the fact the they both sold so many copies and therefore moved so many people.

CryDream Theater only makes me cry in my dreamsWacko

I guess I can vote for "Once" right now.

Well, only one album is ever able to make me cry, and it certainly isn't on this site. The Final Fantasy VII OST. The pure slams of nostalgia from it are too much for me to take. Some of it is really pretty, too.

^That's a very emotional song for me too, I don't think I've actually cried listening to it, but it hasn't been far sometimes.
It's on PA!

For a prog song? No
Sadly it has only happened once at all I can think of, would it be really strange if I said the song was by Shadows Fall??

Yay - the same attack on the same band who has been bashed to death for making a good move commercially...

who wouldn't!? Rush made more on the Snakes & Arrows tour than they did in the rest of their career, Genesis makes more money on their 80s albums than all their classic albums combined - so who's complaining? It's the way they make a friggin living after all.

the band name sounds very emotional, so it's not strange.

Pretty much, but they are a metal/somewhat metalcore-ish band. But this one song is just so full of emotional yelling and melodic beautiful parts..it just broke me one day.

Maudlin of the well's softer side (particularly interlude 3 or sleep is a curse) has quite an emotional impact on me.
