Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Dust in the Wind - Kansas
Green Day - Time of Your Life

and Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumors

Girl of 16
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees And prays

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell From her mother's eye
 
Pretty much every Queen song, because I realize that Freddy has sang his last song.

And Queen is without a doubt, the greatest band ever.

Heh heh thank you I was just about to say that.

Also, to the OP, "Ain't No Sunshine" is by Bill Withers not Al Green.

My answers are:

1. Bonnie Raitt's rendition of "I Can't Make You Love Me"
2. "The Man Who Would be Santa" by Vertical Horizon
3. The whole ( ) album from Sigur Ros
4. "Have You Forgotten?" by Red House Painters

great song. loved it in that family ties episode where michael j. fox is slow dancing with his soon-to-be-real-life-wife tracy pollan and then awkwardly tries to kiss her. she runs away and he yells "ellen! i slipped!" lol.

lots of other good songs mentioned above. another one:

i'll remember - madonna
 
Barbar - "Adagio for Strings"

One of the most emotional classical pieces I've ever played/heard.

Blessed Union of Souls - Standing at the edge of the Earth
 
only song that brought me to tears was Heaven911....4 minute song, search for it on kazaa...it's pretty gripping and had me waterfalling...it's a remix of the slow version of Yanou's Heaven, it's got a child talking to his dad up in Heaven who died in the WTC...

damn...i'm gettin sad just thinkin bout it...
 
eric clapton - tears in heaven
pink floyd - wish you were here
pearl jam - last kiss
DMB - sleep to dream her
creed - lullaby
calling - could it be any harder
sara mclachlan - angel
lynyrd skynyrd - free bird
 
Reba - The Greatest Man I Never Knew
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today
Amazing Grace - On Bagpipes (Like at Payne Stewart's memorial)
 
Peter Gabriel - No Way Out

Don't leave us
Don't leave like this
Don't leave me here again

there are other Peter Gabriel songs that affect me emotionally as well, but this song is off his latest album, so it's fresh on my mind.
 
Elton John- Funeral for a Friend



Does Elton John's Good bye Yellow Brick Road qualify as one of my guilty pleasures coming from someone like me who holds guitar athletes in such high esteem?

 
My Immortal by Evanescence.

I just heard it not long ago, this song is simply amazing.

Nothing Else matters is a classic 🙂

Space Oddity is also pretty sad...
