There must be many.. but the ones I remember now, that also frequently come accompanied by watery eyes (mainly in Rush), are these:


Rush:

 ˇ A Farewell to Kings: 

The combination of power and those amazing, epic, beautiful, direct, addressing, historical, justice and better society through intelligence and common sense driven lyrics... being screamed by Geddy:

Can't we find
The minds that made us strong?
Oh can't we learn
To feel what's right and what's wrong? What's wrong

[Lifeson's breaking guitar solo over the bass and drums section]

Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise
Whoa can't we raise our eyes
And make a start?
Can't we find the minds
To lead us closer to the heart?

 ˇ Xanadu 
   The ending guitar solo from that starting low note (but it could easily be the entire song: the birds, synth, chimes and guitar with volume effect at the beginning and the breaking of the drums & guitar picking after that).

 ˇ Here Again
   The slow guitar solo

Genesis:

 ˇ The Fountain of Salmacis
   The ending march with the guitar solo

 ˇ One for the Vine
   The synth part near the end

Song within a Song, particularly the ending gets me every time. It's just out of this world.

Echoes by them as well, the verse in particular

There's really several throughout several throughout what ive listened to so far (Mirage, Snow goose, Moonmadness, Rain Dances, Breathless, Rajaz, Nod and a Wink) they're simply one of my favorite bands ever.

Outside of that I can only really think of The ending of Suppers Ready and Cinema Show.

Perhaps the Night Watch by King Crimson and Starless

I feel the same about Camel, very emotional and moody music.  That part where Andy sings about the red guitar on Rajaz (Straight to my heart?)  -- that part gets me every time.

Two more: July Morning and Gypsy (both from Uriah Heep), when the swirling Hammond and heavy guitar riffs blend, an adrenaline rush, so exciting and compelling!

I think that may be my favourite live album. What a line up they had at that time!

Soft Machine's "Song of Aeolus" from Softs is one that always shakes me up a bit.

Also Camel's "Watching the Bobbins" from Harbour of Tears is one that I find quite moving.

Renaissance's "Song of Scheherazade" always gets me too.

I'll never forget getting the Aerial CD after waiting so many years for a new release from her.  I enjoyed disc 1, but was blown away by disc 2, and by the time Nocturn finished, and Aerial started, I was near tears.  At the close of Aerial (and the end of the CD) I was just weeping.

Can't say that's ever happened to me before listening to music.  I can get choked-up, but that one just did me in.

in order... Chills .. My #2 group ever.

Full agreement on "Just A Normal Day" - and several from Crime of the Century - that album is killer, and it always gets to me.  But it's one I can't pick and choose songs from - I just have to listen to the whole thing from start to finish.

VdGG "La Rossa" from "Still Life".
"Drown me drown me now and hold me down before your naked hunger, burn me on the altar of the night. Give me life!"
That powerful sense of longing for something seemingly unobtainable, but which will provide ultimate meaning and fulfillment.
Such a powerful emotion and certainly gives me shivers.

Also, from the same album, the ending of "Childlike Faith in Childhoods End":
"And though dark is the highway, and the peaks distance breaks my heart, for I never shall see it still I play my part. Believing that what waits for us is the cosmos compared to the dust of the past. In the death of mere humans life shall start."
Powerful stuff that never fails to bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

Great posting, although I've loved these already, it puts them wonderfully in the spotlight.
