A few of the more emotional pieces about life and death have gotten me there; "Turn of the Century" by Yes and "Never the Same" by Echolyn are two that immediately spring to mind.

Wow - this nails it for me, too. In fact, for a while I thought that Echolyn's "Never The Same" would be my choice of song to be played at my funeral. Thankfully I've not had to make that decision yet!
I would add "Awaken" and "And You And I" to that.

Not prog, but this piece from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 makes me feel very emotional sometimes.

^ People are allowed to goof off here. Plus, if the word "f$%^" wasn't addressed to him, why did you even use it?

"Stop being a f**k"? That doesn't really make sense.

^ First it was "ass", but then he edited it in favor of "f$%^".
Actually, I know that there are some Hollywood movies that have phrases like "you sick f$%^" or something in the spirit of that. That's how I figured that it can be used as a noun.
It's too bad that there's nothing else in the realm of prog that made me cry ... so that I would have a perfect excuse to get back to the topic.

Yeah, I did think of that, but like you pointed out, usually there's an adjective that comes before it. Without it it just sounds weird.

I always cry when I listen to Mark Isham's - Crash. I am not sure if everyone would consider it progressive music but the fusing of eatern and western music puts it in that category for me.

I watched the Peter Gabriel DVD of his songs backed bya full orchestra the other night and cried at the sheer brilliance of the whole affair.

Last time was because of an argument we had over the boiling time for potatoes. Prog made me cry, because I hate smudgy veg.

Yes, at the end of it. I cried since it was the last song with Gabriel. At the end of Nous Sommes Du Soleil, the ending was so beautiful I teared up There are multiple times when a song is so powerful or moving I can't help to shed a tear. A textbook example would be after hearing Close to The Edge. I was awestruck and tears started rolling down my cheeks, but I was not sobbing, I was silent and had this stupid half grin on my face. I was in my English class in the computer lab and my friend next to me asked me if everything was ok. I said "no, its not ok, I know that the next time I hear this song, I won't end with the same feeling I have right now." That must have intrigued her cause she asked me what song, and she left the realm of 3 minute pop songs to listen to an 18 minute song to see why it had such a profound effect on me. She didn't understand and said to me "I don't get it" and preceded to listen to one direction.

Opeth's Hex Omega makes me well up, and not sure if this'll be counted as prog but Queen's Too Much Love Will Kill You always does it for me.
@Astral Traveller, I had the same situation with my bf recently. I listened to a really heartfelt piece of music, you could tell there was so much work gone into it... And he questioned why I seemed so emotional towards it. So I played him the piece in question, and then he exclaimed that it was ''rubbish'' and he didn't get it, aaaaand reverted back to his Drum and Bass, the same 5 seconds of sound repeated for 4 minutes! Each to their own right?...
