There's a song by The Handsome Family called "Amelia Earhart vs The Dancing Bear" - it's a sweet little tune that not only make the hairy bits tingle, but also makes my eyeballs jerk around in my head and usually has a stream running down my cheeks by the end. Wierd! I've never known anything else has such a consistant emotional impact.
Yellow submarine's pretty bloody good too though, had to play it three times in a row on the drive to Bristol last week.
song to the siren, but the version by this mortal coil.

So many. music moves me like almost nothing else.
Muse- Citizen Erased.
I know what you mean - the quiet bit after the anger where he moans "Wash me away, Clean your body of me..."
It's exquisitely painful.
Wildbirds & Peacedrums - My Heart (AU Remix)
(as an aside, you can download for free on [url= http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Wildbirds__Peacedrums/music ]this page[/url])
Elbow - Scattered Black & Whites
+1 for Elgar's Nimrod
Barbor's Adagio for Strings
In no particular order
Dream Theater - Wait for Sleep
Queensryche - Spreading the Disease
Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear
Evanescence - My Immortal
Sorry forgot heaven & hell sabbath
Gimme Shelter - The Stones
but the one that really does it for me is 'Stop' by Jamelia. I can't turn it up loud enough. Sends shivers down my spine.
While my guitar gently weeps - The Beatles
All along the watchtower - Hendrix
Faith No More - Ashes to Ashes
Orbital - Impact
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Public Enemy - Prophets of Rage
and probably most of all
Jeff Buckley - Vancouver
The two big notes he does at the end, something inside me falls over.
Kashmir-Led Zep
Welcome to the Machine-Pink Floyd
Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd
Vaughan-Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, still does it.
Most other tracks that used to raise the hairs on the back of the neck, have lost that initial, sort of 😯 
factor due to over playing.
Ho Hum...
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Madrugada - Majesty
Most of Black Flags works
a few others too
Gang of Four - At Home He's a Tourist
Underworld - Dark & Long
Joy Division - Atmosphere
Telepopmusik - Breath
Mr Beatnick feat. Ahu - I Know All the Bitches
Recently litened to this again after a long absence;
"I Come and Stand at Every Door" - This Mortal Coil

chilling.
oh and Burial - Etched Headplate (well, most of Burial really)
Bonnie - Prefab Sprout
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Many, many, many...
Some that always get the emotions running include:
Red Hill Mining Town - U2. Best, but often overlooked, track on a very well known album.
And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - version by The Pogues on Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
Oh, and..
The Welsh National Anthem - and I'm English. First time I heard it live at the old Cardiff Arms Park made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! [b]And we've got God Save the Queen FFS![/b]
Er, [b]No - God Save the Queen is the BRITISH National Anthem[/b]. As far as I know there is no English national anthem...
although Mae Hen Wlad Fy Naddau is certainly stirring stuff
+1 Nimrod, Elgar.
This is a Low by Blur.
She Sells Sanctuary, The Cult
2nd Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, its stunning in its bleakness
New Order- True Faith (it reminds me of dancing at De Villes in Manchester with me old pal johnny Scoles and trapping off with a girl from Miles Platting)
Sting - Fields of Gold, played at the funeral of my brother Allan (it was his song)
[url=
Sympathy[/i][/url] - still knocks me for six.
Mine - with reasons...
The Verve: Drugs Don't Work/Bittersweet Symphony as my wife (then GF) had just gone to America working a summer camp and I felt alone and they summed up (melodically, if not through specific words) how I felt inside.
Pink Floyd: Sine on you Crazy Diamond as my dad chose it to be played at his funeral back in January.
And anything by Status Quo as I had just been to see them with my mum and dad last December a few weeks before he died.
Finally (and less maudlin) anything off the 'Diary of a Madman' album by Ozzy as that was when I felt at my most vital - 16 years old, getting my own identity, spending hour after hour listening to music in my room.

King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic Pt 1
Feist - Mushaboom
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Tom Waits - Soldier's Things
Billy Bragg - Levi Stubb's Tears
and many many others
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Teardrop - good call khegs. Shame it was ruined by some idiot covering it.
Big one for me is Clapton's Tears in Heaven. Can't stand Clapton but a classical guitarist played it at my wedding and it makes me go all funny.
Damn, there's so many. Someone mentioned Kate Rusby's [i]My Young Man[/i], but there's several of hers, particularly [i]Underneath The Stars[/i], when the brass band comes in, where I go tingly all over. Elbow just never fail, [i]Starlings, Newborn, Fugitive Motel, One Day Like This[/i], all make me come over all unnessessary. Emmylou Harris' [i]Prayer In Open D[/i] can move me to tears, and U2's [i]Where The Streets Have No Name[/i] is a guaranteed spine-tingler, always reminds me of playing it at high volume on the way to Cardiff to see them at the Arms Park.
Sailing-Rod Stewart
Another brick in the wall-Pink Floyd
Drive-The cars
