All post-rock is emotional. Thats what they are made to do!

I only mentioned some of them that are on this site. But all of them are emotional...and good

Post-rock = emotion

I am going to go with the flow and say Pain of Salvation due to their beauty and power all at the same time

Next off Meshuggah, definantly emotional just not in a tearjerking way (unless the sledgehammer to your face followed by being stomped on by a big angry machine counts)

The Mars Volta live extremely emotional these guys probably never play the same thing twice because when they get into a jam groove, it dosent stop

Mogwai-They are powerful yet simplistic, the song punk rock with just a continuing riff over a recording I dont know it gets to me.

The original, Fish era, Marillion for me, although I have good memories of Aragon's first album in 1987 as well...

Most emotive for me: Genesis.
But also: Camel (The Snow Goose, Mirage), PF (Wish You Were Here, Animals), IQ, Marillion (Fugazi, A Script...)

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...Approve 
 
And he is not a Peter Gabriel clone LOL

Awesome thread. My answer is mixed on this one; Pain of Salvation on one side, 12:5 is amazing as well as The Perfect Element. Marillion too! Any era is great, I enjoy both Fish and Hogarth eras! I also think TOOL can be incredibly emotional, the moods of their songs are so emotional. Oh, and watch out for Riverside too, the emotions shown on both of their albums are sticky, at least to me!

Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, and Robert Wyatt. Those guys no how to put feeling in their music. Evertime I listen to those bands there are moments that just make me feel. Embarrassed

<<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.

Harmonium of curse, also like chamberry said all the post rock its very emotive and sentimental bands like Godspeed & Sigur Rós or Rachel's really put great and emotive feelings on their albums.

Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Eddie Jobson, Ian Carr projects, all post-rock as Chamberyy said, and Eno all stand out the most.

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.

Hmm - so much for generalisation. I indicated earlier that Marillion and Fish were most emotive and sentimental to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Marillion with Hogarth is bad. On the contrary, I do enjoy albums like Season's End and Brave, and Marbles is on my checklist now.

Has it ever crossed your mind that I might have selected Marillion for completely different reasons - like good memories related Margareth (Live), Garden Party and Fugazi?

And Mr. E-Dub: Steve Hogarth's voice is very well good, but his voice in itself can never be emotional and sentimental.  I will never deny though that he uses it in a way that perfectly adds feeling to his lyrics Smile

I agree, I like H era Marillion, but FIsh........ well, that man on a stage kind of gets inside you... and emotionally if not technically he is the greater performer. I have seen Marrillion both with and without him. Performance is not just about being technically superior.

Last year I saw the Back to Childhood tour twice, the first gig in Cornwall he was really slated for, he had a throat infection and indeed cancelled the next two nights due to this, I saw the show again about 3 weeks later after resting and stuff his voice was in a much, much stronger position, but for emotion........ well the Cornwall gig had me mesmerised, I was in a trance, and yes I did weep though a couple of songs.........
 
When it comes to emotion there is little rhyme or reason.
 
There are SO many bands that will touch my emotions and sentiments.....often for very personal reasons, and not necessarily due to the performance or the song, so it's hard to say. Who I find the most emotional.
 
Seeing Pendragon do "Breaking the Spell" and "Dance of the Seven Veils"  both in one set on this tour I found extremely emotional, it really got to me!
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..........

Pink Floyd. And the emotions flow as much through Gilmour's solos as his and Waters' vocals.

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.
