By the contrary, I love Genesis with all my heart, if you had been here long enough you would know i consider anything post Wind & Wuthering a disgrace, I love genesis, but i don't consider that trio without Hackett and Gabriel as Genesis.

Don't blame them either, they own the name, but this doesn't mean i have to consider them the same as before, and much less like that music.

Listen to David Sancious' "invisible dance" or "fligh of light" off of 'The bridge'. Beautiful !

Haha yes, I was mostly commenting on the fact that there have been more than a few threads on how Phil Collins wasn't a good drummer, the fact that he was mean to his fans, a couple forum members that just don't 'get' Genesis.

Never have I cried from emotion to any song. But I have cried of awesomeness to the following:
Octavarium - Dream Theater
A Change Of Seasons - Dream Theater
Supper's Ready - Genesis (it took me a long time to digest this song for some reason, though)

No prog song ever has, but a few Johnny Cash tunes and "Spider" by Oingo Boingo got me pretty good when I was going through a painful breakup.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

This might sound funny since Genesis "Calling All Stations" gets so much bashing. The title song has evoked tears for me. As has many Genesis songs. Also many more by the Moody Blues, Renaissance,  Steve Hackett, Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons and many others. Of course some of it had to do with romantic tie-in's, or personal crises associated with the songs at the time and alcohol consumption.
If I'm lost or mislayed keep on looking don't be afraid.

No.  Two songs that came very close were "Alifib" by Robert Wyatt and "Refugees" by VDGG.

More times than they should, I'm a sucker for emotional rock operas and I've about been brought to tears by Snow, Quadrophenia, The Wall, and Dark Side of the Moon.  Also when going through a breakup (someone said that earlier) Peter Hammill's Over brought me to tears.  One album that really plucks my heartstrings is The Dear Hunter's Act III: Life and Death mainly the ending.
 
EDIT: Also when I'm feeling depressed the songs Radiohead's No Surprises and Syd Barrett's Wouldn't You Miss Me? (Dark Globe) really hit me hard.

Kansas' "Lamplight Symphony" and "Rainmaker," Genesis' "Supper's Ready," Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" and "Wish You Were Here," Explosions in the Sky's "First Breath After Coma," Steve Walsh's "Serious Wreckage," and especially Big Big Train's "Victorian Brickwork," all have at least once.
 
But Transatlantic's "Bridge Across Forever" is the only song that I've never once been able to listen to without tearing up. Cry It's just so beautiful...

No, but the ending of the Hazards of Love comes close.  I want to cry every time someone plays a Dragonforce song while I'm around, but I don't think those are the kind of tears the TC is referring to.LOL

Mr. Jones by Counting Crows and Drive all Night by Bruce Springsteen were the only songs to bring me to tears, was probably the events going on in my life at the time and the poignancy of the music at that given moment

Few times. Amongst them the most special would probably be Klaatu - Hope. So beautiful. And beauty in arts sometimes is too big that it brings me to tears. It's natural.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"
