You used to claim that Snakes and Arrows was the best album since Moving Pictures or something from around then.

I was deluded. Repeated listens induces tears, mainly of mirth.

I was one of the few voices of dissent at the time if you remember. Glad you see it my way now.....I think.

The first song I heard of Camel was "Lady Fantasy". After a few listens, I figured out how to play the soft section with the "Saw you riding on a moon cloud" lyrics on piano. For several months, every time I would play that section on the piano it would bring my to tears. Now I have the album Mirage, and it's doesn't make me cry, but it still moves me.

"Supper's Ready" by Genesis is the only prog song I can think of that has literally made me cry - I was listening to it while driving once, and the ending section beginning with "Can't you feel our soul's ignite" moved me like no music ever has. I like the term "pre-cry" presented here, and there are very many pieces of music that have brought me to that stage, in and out of prog. There's another sensation I get sometimes while listening to music, and the only way to describe it is like feeling the Holy Spirit descending upon and atomizing into my body.

Yeah this is a definitely a unique and common enough feeling that prog can create.
But interestingly I find it's always aesthetic. I love and follow great lyrics but I can handle 'sadness' and things, I guess coz I'm so young and without major tragedy in my life, so I don't really get contextually moved to tears by any narrative.
It's purely when something just so indecently beautifully aesthetically moves me to the tears, of which The Carpet Crawlers must surely be the supreme example.
Will post other experiences as I have them.

Floyd has made me tear up. Yes has made me tear up. Even Kansas. So, the answer is half-way!

I must admit that certain artists/tracks to bring some form of emotion in me, mainly Yes/Moody Blues/Genesis related but in regards to actually 'crying' when hearing a peice of music did happen once when I was listening to the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and at the time had just lost a close friend and the moment 'Hairless Heart' started up that was it I burst into tears.
I guess at the time I was greiving and was feeling pretty down too so that had a lot to do with cracking up. It was probably only the second or third time I'd actually heard Lamb lies down so wasn't all that familar with the album then so the fact that that track caught me by surprise indicates that it sometimes doesn't take much to stir the tears up.
And whenever I listen to that track now it does bring a little lump in my throat.

Tears run from my eyes everytime I think of money spent on unfocused pointless noodling.

MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?

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

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.
