Another one I prefer to be alone when listening to, just so I can really listen to it, My Father's House by the Boss. Though there are loads by him that could end up in a thread like this:

Here's one that really struck a chord with me.

Wintersleep - A Long Flight

Probably the best song in one of the best albums ever.

In reality there are tons of The Cure themes that you could put here

The Cure is a good shout.

utterly soul crushing.

Funeral Doom is the most depressing music in existent.

+1 to Warning.

Wish You Were Here by Floyd.

Everybody Hurts by REM.

Nessun Dorma has made me cry before.

Hey you by Pink Floyd

2 parts of the song that really touch me:

"Now there aint nobody nowhere no how gonna ever understand me the way you did"

And

"In some motel room there'll be a radio playing, And you'll hear me sing this song, Well if you do you'll know I'm thinking of you and all the miles in between"

Such a beautiful record. No fluffy language, just a pure rush of nostalgic emotion.

Girl from the North Country
A most peculiar Man
Mothers of the Disappeared
Try not to Breathe
She thinks I still Care
