I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Would normally say "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" but X-Factor has kinda ruined it for me for the time being.
This sends shivers down my spine, her voice is just angelic

Then this brings tears to my eyes for other reasons
Anything Neurosis have ever written.
Crippled Black Phoenix - "200 Tons of Bad Luck"; "Bastogne Blues" etc
I gotta agree with you on the Johnny Cash "Hurt" one.
System of a Down - "Soldier Side"
Neil Young - "Every Man Needs a Maid", plus many others by him.
Pink Floyd - "On the Turning Away"; "Wish You Were Here"
Plus many others...
Dammit TJ i have tears rolling down my cheeks now thanks to this thread

Basically anything from the American IV album.
Saw Tom Paxton on Saturday, played this:

sorry Houns
Could be joy as well as sadness.
any strong real emotion.

(I have been slated for this previously)
Lately
Known for being open with her emotions on stage I would go for these two songs by Nina Simone
The point was a song where the singer is showing real emotion - Ton has it.
A few more to listen to but some of these are songs about emotions not containing them
I'd have said Jacques Brel has it too TJ...
It's ok TJ i don't mind
Seattle's Shawn Smith knows a thing or two about life.
no one emotes quite like Lucinda Williams
