Helmut Koellen's song "Playin' This Song Together"-brings me to tears almost every time

also in the classical music world-the ending of the final movement of Anton Bruckner's 5th Symphony-incredibly emotional

I don't think. But there are albums which are full of emotions and that I adore. Mostly jazz.
Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Hancock's Mwandishi
Davis' Kind of Blue, Ascenseur and Birth of the Cool
 
I am feeling a lot more of emotion when I'm seeing musique actuelle live. Progressive albums that move me could be these.
Guapo's Black Oni
Shub Niggurath's Les morts vont vite
Sotos' Platypus
Julverne's À neuf
Present's Trisakaïdekaphobie
VDGG's Still Life
Les mains, les pieds balancés
Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers,
Un marin mort,
Il dormira

Songs that brought tears to my eyes:
 
- Formentera Lady, KC
- Think of me with Kindness, GG
- Still Life, VdGG
- A Lotus On Irish Streams, Mahavishnu Orchestra
- Sleep Dirt, FZ (I don't know why, but I feel a lot of inner pain when I listen to this one)
 
Non Prog:
 
- I Love My Parents, Buckethead
- The whole YS album by Joanna Newsom + the Sprout and the Bean and En Gallop from the Milk-Eyed Mender
- Fruit Tree and Riverman by Nick Drake
- Canción para los días de la vida by Spinetta
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago

 think this is because: progressive rock is emotionally COMPLEX,  like classical music.  Popular music is more touching than classical/prog because it's SIMPLE, straight to the point. Of course it's just me; I'm sure the classical fans and some progheads will say the exact opposite
 
This sentence or phrase is absolutly non sense not to say more. Popular music is much touching, really. I like popular music at some point, but to say that a music is less touching because is complex, is total crap.ConfusedShocked I can can writte here  at least 10 prog pieces that will turn your eyes in waterfalls. I voted few times. One of the pieces that always will bring tears in my eye is Entagled from Genesis, specialy the last part of the tune. VDGG has at least 2-3 tracks that are beyond anything else, etc

the 4th movement of Mahler's 9th symphony brings tears to my eyes, especially when conducted by Bernstein

Years ago at Madison Square Garden-Yes in the round-played an amazing version of Gates of Delirium. When they began the "Soon, oh Soon" section, I just lost it. It was incredible after all the tension and power of the instrumental section.

I've never broken into tears, but there are moments when I feel that if I was a little more prone to crying I'd probably shed a tear or two. I don't know any specific songs really, a few years ago I remember choking up a little when I was listening to Peaches en Regalia.

If something right hits me at the really right moment, I can get a little weepy.

For Tori - Bring Out Your Cloud from Scarlett's Walk, Donut Song is one of my favorite from Boys For Pele.
