Pink Floyd is top ten in this category, I'd have to say:

Vera
Is there anybody out there?
The Great Gig in the sky
Marooned (no singing, though, so is it still a song?)
High Hopes
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Wish you were here

I could go on...

I second the vote(s) for Estranged. Also check out Fiona Apple. Oh yeah, and Janis Joplin - Ball & Chain, Summertime.

Man, I keep thinking of more! All we are - Kim Mitchell; Bohemian rhapsody - Queen; Maybe, Forgiveness - Collective Soul; Life without you - SRV.



However, I will say that I believe that songs are "emotive" because of the meaning that each individual puts into it. Therefore, people may not think of many of the songs I've listed above as having as much emotional impact as I do (they're all killers for me). That being said, we all have our hard experiences in life, and, as most of us here listen to the same general artists, we will probably find that we have many songs in common that we feel have great emotional impact.

... and that's all I have to say about that.
