Actually, Tormato almost made me cry - in disbelief and rage at what Yes had become. But I guess the closest I'e ever come to a real emotional response was when I first heard the mellotron choir under the lines:
'There's a fat old lady outside the saloon . . .'
It also makes me want to stamp and shout.
Oh yeah, Lennon's re-entry into A Day in the Life after Macca's signature whimsy is sublime . . .
Right after "And somebody spoke and I went into a dream . . ."

"Victorian Brickwork" by Big Big Train, "Bridge Across Forever" by Transatlantic, the ending of "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd, "Childlike Faith In Childhood's End" by Van der Graaf Generator, "Icarus II" by Kansas, and about a dozen or so other songs that escape me at the moment have all moved me to tears at least once.
Good music makes me rather emotional.

Hogan's Heroes have released Nancy's big hit in German.
I had Gentle Giant's Vertigo LP of 'Acquiring the Taste', it sat in the back of my friend's car on a hot afternoon and warped into a candy dish... I cried when it was empty and saw the chewy center.

I like the term of "Pre-cry".
Most often caused by either an amazing solo (often guitar), or, most interesting in Prog Rocks, a genious "break" between two parts of a long prog piece.
My favorite "pre-cry" solos :
Pink Floyd (Gilmour) : Confortably Numb (The Wall album), Not Now John and The final cut (The Final Cut album ), Fat Old Sun (Atom Heart Mother album, better in Gilmour's latest Lives).
My Favorite "pre-cry" breaks :
Pink Floyd : Echoes (between first part and second at 7'01, and guitar at the end at 18'15).
Yes : Starship Trooper (in the "Keys to Ascension" Live, transition between sung part and instrumental part at 5'43)
Yes : Close To the Edge : after the slow part, at 14'50 the organ acceleration followed by the chorus reprise.
Genesis : Firth of fifth (at 5'45, slow atmospheric solo of Steve Hackett at the end)
Eloy : Poseidon's creation (at 7'40, after the sung part)
Camel : Rhayader goes to town (transition at 2'30, and amazing solo guitar that follows).
The Tangent : In Darkest Dreams (A sax in the dark), sax break.
Jethro Tull : Thick as a brick (Bursting Out Live version), at 3'41, Guitar break, followed by flute, and the lyrics "The poet and painter, casting shadows on the water ...."

Neal Morse has done this to me regularly.. especially when I had a very difficult relationship that came to a even more bitter end, listening to Snow was.. well, it opened wide the flood gates

Nice post. I find that this kind of reaction is actually positive. It allows us to let all of our emotions out. I always feel better after such a music session.

Yeah, music sometimes has a really healing element, even if it deals with tough issues or is of a seemingly "dark" nature.
