Music that still rips your heart out.
Me:
Mother: John Lennon (something about my parents breaking up, just causes this song to effect me.)
Ira Hayes: don't know who did it originally, but the song and the story just devestates me.

The Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber in general... But when you take it to the Agnus Dei vocal version? Incredibly intense and powerful.
It definitely set the tone for the rest of Homeworld when you found your world burning and that damn song playing in the background. Like some real event of cosmic import.

Eternal Flame by The Bangles. That song was playing when I was very very homesick, and since then I can't hear it without tearing up.

Pink Floyd, The Division Bell, particularly Lost for Words. Not as good musically as their earlier albums, but (for me) quite emotional.

Sleeping Sun by Nightwish is another one, for a yet different reason.

Also, I know it's not in the OP angle, but since the first time I heard it performed live, I cannot hear the 1812 Overture without being reduced to tears by the final movement(as the tide turns).

Agnus Dei is high in the list, a truly wonderful piece.
This tune, however, really does it for me. The video doesn't help. Comptine d'un autre été: L'après midi.

Peter LaFarge wrote and performed it originally but Johnny Cash's cover is probably the most famous version.

Re: Music that still rips your heart out.
yeah, I've actually only heard the Cash version, but just the way they do that military funeral dirge in the beginning, the whole lyrics it makes me cry. Part of me would like to have it played every time some pol or faux newsman says support the troops on one hand but no medical care, and the canadians aren't pulling their weight on the other hand (glares at Fox Red Eye and Bushites)

"Ocean Gypsy" by Blackmore's Night. Song brings me to pieces.
As an aside, the arrangment of Journey of the Sorceror as found in the HHGTTG movie made me all teary eyed and joyous when I saw it in theaters.

Re: Music that still rips your heart out.
Cash's version of Hurt doesn't get old on me. He sings it with authenticity and melancholy that comes across as self-absorbed whininess on Trent's version. It's almost like it's my granddad singing it. He had a really low voice like Cash's, but obviously an old Lancashire accent. I always really identified with my granddad; he was a quiet gentleman, one of the consummate good guys.
For My Fallen Angel by My Dying Bride is the saddest song I've ever heard bar none. It's pure grief.

Re: Music that still rips your heart out.
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs springs the mind - the very reason I started playing guitar in the first place, and particularly the blues. Although I didn't really come to understand the record until years after I first heard it, even that initial blush made an indelible impression.
Piano Concerto No. 1 by Sergei Rachmaninoff has always deeply affected me emotionally, though not from any particular association. There's nothing really complicated about it, but it just has such a raw thread running through, that for me it overpowers even Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony and Barber's Adagio.
The Use Your Illusions albums by Guns N' Roses also have a special place in my heart, but mostly pertaining to associations with one particular person.

Roxy Music's version of Jealous Guy. It reminds me of my wee sister. I was pretty horrible to her growing up and for several years we didn't even speak. Now she is probably my best friend, off all the people I know she'll be the first person to have my back.
I also have a hard time listening to Waiting For My Real Life To Begin by Colin Hay. For too long I was like the dude this song was about, I was waiting for my life to begin rather than pursuing it. Now I have my own place (well I share with a couple of randomers) a beautiful girlfriend and a job I actually enjoy going to in the morning.

Re: Music that still rips your heart out.
Kiss From a Rose by Seal, not because I like the song, but it was/is my ex's favorite song, and I burst into tears whenever I hear it.
And, on a very sappy, indie, emotional level, A Stone by Okkervil River, which is one of the best written songs I've ever heard. It's written so personally, almost confidentially that I can't help but to identify with it.
