Avril Lavigne's rendition of Chop Suey makes me cry, just not in that way.

And yes, there are many. I can't think of the titles offhand, because I've been avoiding them for many months.

As much as I hate to admit it I was moved almost to tears the first time I heard Luther Vandross's song "Dance With My Father." Man, that guy is awesome though.

Radiohead - Creep ... I relate to it more than I'd like :)
Radiohead - Exit Music for a Film ... no frickin' clue
Few others from 3EB's "Blue" album (go ahead and laugh, but dammit I like third eye blind so :p )

if someone has heard these songs they know exactly what I'm talking about.

the Wrens - I've Made Enough Friends

Les Savy Fav - Je Taime

oh there are so many more but these songs own and popped up in my head.

edit: they don't make me cry by any means, but they do evoke emotion.

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
Lynard Skynard - Simple Man
Harry Chapin - Cat's in the Cradel
The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melodies
Tim McGraw - Don't Take the Girl

These can all make me cry if the mood is right.

J Frank Wilson &amp; The Cavaliers/Pearl Jam-Last Kiss.

Well, when I woke up
The rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm a-running in my eyes
But I found my baby somehow that night
I raised her head and when she smiled and said
"Hold me darling for a little while"
I held her close
I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love ... my life, that night
:(
