Stagnation by Genesis is just sublime. The last batch of melodies in
that song are so beautiful; gives me goosebumps every single time. The songs dynamic make it one of my favourite Genesis songs, and not to mention Tony's keyboard solo - gets my blood pumping and puts a huge smile on my face.
Screaming and shaking violently and unable to control yourself as you say YEEEEAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!! is tier 4 awesome.
While tingling and crying are very rare for me, I scream, take my shirt off and roll all over the floor screaming all kinds of things when listening to Starless and Shine on You Crazy Diamond, almost always.

Depends on the prog song. There's a select few that frequently give me the chills, as well as some others that may give me that feeling depending on my mood/state of mind/place in life at the moment/etc.
All of these songs have given me that feeling at some point:
2112 - Rush The Pass - Rush Hemispheres - Rush Distant Early Warning - Rush And You and I - Yes In the Presence Of - Yes When I Survey - Iona The Island - Iona Luciforms - The Mars Volta Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater Far From Heaven - Dream Theater The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater Beneath the Surface - Dream Theater The Count of Tuscany - Dream Theater A Nightmare to Remember - Dream Theater (wow, a lot of DT) Laboratories of the Invisible World (Rollerskating the Cosmic Palmistric Postborder) - maudlin of the Well Another Excerpt: Keep Light Near You, Even When Dying - maudlin of the Well Ashes are Burning - Renaissance
and the big one: Supper's Ready - Genesis
As far as non-prog goes, I sometimes get this feeling when listening to:
Alone - At Sea Fix You - Coldplay 1812 Overture - Tchikovsky Messiah - Handel Wachet Auf - Bach Gloria - Vivaldi And countless hymns that I've sung in church.

Yeah, sure, i get that feeling. Sometimes when i listen to the right music at the right time, i get a kind of "Man, is it ever great to be alive, and this music is why!" feeling that is both physical and mental at the same time. In prog, it happens a lot with the music of Triumvirat/Helmut Koellen for me especially and in classical with the composers Berlioz and Bruckner.
But it has to be at the right time and mood-(though i am not what you would call a moody person, really)

Yeah, I've had the feeling... but as a matter of fact, some pop songs can do the same for me. Well, not exactly the same, I guess the prog moments are stronger, but the pop moments come more often. However, prog (specially symphonic prog) does something else... I can't quiet describe it, but it is like reaching such heights of beauty that I am just numb by what I'm hearing... perhaps I could say that such moments make me feel "Comfortably Numb".
