I saw the topic and immediately Pain of Salvation came to mind. I'm slightly surprised to see someone else who feels the same way.

Porcupine Tree also, very emotive/sentimental and also very disturbing.

• Tool - Not all of their work, but some songs are totally moving, emotional pieces. Such as Eulogy, The Grudge, Stinkfist, Ticks And Leeches... it's pretty negative emotion, but not in a bad way.
• The Mars Volta - Songs like The Widow, L'via, Inertiatic ESP, Miranda, Televators, Roulette Dares, etc... nuff said.
• Savatage - an extremely underrated prog metal band. They are extremely emotional - the song When The Crowds Are Gone from the album Gutter Ballet is one of my all time favorite emotional metal ballads.
  

Yeah.. Defector of Steve Hackett is the most sentimental album I've ever heard. And it's very dark too.

And emotions.. mainly for them I listen to prog rock and related music.

I have seen Marrillion both with and without him. Performance is not just about being technically superior. <snip>   But albums that transport me to a particular time in my life, they tend to be the most emotional, and sometimes freewill has nothing to do with that, it's just a case of hearing something and BANG! here comes your happy/sad thought..........   P-C

That's what I was getting at - thnx P-C...

If we're talking sentimental as in love songs, I really couldn't mention anything special off the top of my head. However, if we're talking about sheer emotional content and expression, I can't refrain from mentioning Peter Gabriel (I'm listening to his "Plays Live" album just now - utterly fantastic!) and, of course, Peter Hammill. Fish has always sounded somewhat contrived to me. Then, of course, Waters-era Pink Floyd and Robert Wyatt.

very emotional tracks:

<<I think that the people here voting in MARILLION Fish era don't know the actual band, because the voice of Steve Hogarth is veeeeeeeeeeryyyy much emotional and sentimental than his predecessor>>

Yeah, I can understand why Fish is so popular. He was/is a larger than life and dramatic character. Then here comes the pretty boy and he's automatically tagged as the singular downfall of Marillion (which has been proven not to be true) because the company leaned on them to create more pop (Really, is "Kayleigh" less pop than, say, "Cover My Eyes"?). Comparing the two singers, Fish has a tendency to be TOO over dramatic at times. Almost as if he's trying too hard. Hogarth, on the other hand, has a much more natural sound when it comes to a more dramatic song. Simply put, I don't believe Hogarth has been given much of a chance from the old schoolers.

And comparing the two masterpieces in Misplaced Childhood and Brave, the latter is MUCH more powerful. Just my thoughts.
