Music that really stirs your emotions

ok, I know all music is suppose to stir your emotions . . . but stick with me.

I put the original Boz Scaggs album on the TT this morning. This has always been one of my favorites - I played it constantly while in college in the mid-70's, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Side 2 is one of the best album sides aver recorded IMO - the sequence of songs is perfect. Anyway, It's unavoidable to get sucked into "Loan me a Dime" from the beginning (foot tapping, head bobbing, etc), but about 3/4's of the way through Duane Allman's solo I begin to giggle uncontrollably. Then after all that, it goes into "Sweet Release", which really does help release all that energy from the prior track.

What music most stirs emotions for you - whether it's giggling, crying, or ?

I have a some more more . . .

Mike Oldfield "Ommadawn" always puts me in a trance, although recently not as deep of a trance as I experienced when I was young (and had some chemical help).

Andrew Lloyd Weber - Requiem - especially "Pie Jesu"

Verde - Requiem. I get numb.

Jan Hammer - First Seven Days - "Darkness/Earth in Search of a Sun" My response is similar to the outburst I have with "Loan me a dime" during the climax cymbals crashing and bass notes shaking the house.
