Sadly it has only happened once at all I can think of, would it be really strange if I said the song was by Shadows Fall??

the band name sounds very emotional, so it's not strange.

who wouldn't!? Rush made more on the Snakes & Arrows tour than they did in the rest of their career, Genesis makes more money on their 80s albums than all their classic albums combined - so who's complaining? It's the way they make a friggin living after all.

Yay - the same attack on the same band who has been bashed to death for making a good move commercially...

Oh,  when Jessica and Aeris you-know-what (spoiler) 'd, I felt like I was IN the story, and she was my REAL friend.

^That's a very emotional song for me too, I don't think I've actually cried listening to it, but it hasn't been far sometimes.

I had a dream last night, in which I was crying listening to "Sacrified Sons". I wasn't moved by the song alone though, but also by the fact that so many Score songs were from Octavarium and the fact the they both sold so many copies and therefore moved so many people.

CryDream Theater only makes me cry in my dreamsWacko

I guess I can vote for "Once" right now.

Pink Floyd's "Time" almost gets me everytime, but it's more a kick in the butt than pussy weeping.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

Kevin Gilbert's The Shaming of the True, with 'Starting into nothing' and 'Water under the bridge'... This album has been my favorite for many years, and the only that made me cry once...

One time while liestening to "Jerusalem". There is a synth line right after Lake sings "Bring me my bow".... then the line appears... "of burning gold"  right after that another line bursts from the speakers. It's impressive and highly emotional.

I don't think I've ever actually cried, but the closest I've com is probably with "Hole" by Anekdoten. That one just left me amazed the first time I listened to it.
