I recall having heard anectodal evidence that seventies and classical
music is the most appropriate to play when driving. I had been
listening to seventies music for several years prior to this snippet of
information, and in my experience, seventies music, especially 1976-1979
disco, some soul and funk, has proven to be the most relaxing. Techno
"drives" me insane. That relentless thumping, racing heart and
adrenalin, ideal for the racecourse, deadly on the public roads.

Some of the things discussed about music, I agree with BUT some are kind of ridiculous. I agree with the guy who said that classical music is probably the most appropriate music to play when you're driving because it's very relaxing, as well as slow-tempo music. I also feel the same way as the guy who said he freaks out if the music gets turned off, although I wouldn't use the word "freak" but probably "doze-off" if I don't listen to any music at all. I really think that a faster and louder music can get you into a more aggressive state when driving because your adrenalin flow and hearthbeat is going faster as well. But I find the guy, who said that he drives the same way when he's listening to a fast/loud music as the guy listening to a slower beat, to be ridiculous because I don't think a fast-paced music has the same effect as a slow-paced music has.

Yup. I have to confess to enjoying techno/dance with upwards of 150 bpm, and I
can drive just as normally as the guy playing Mariah Carey in the lane next to me.
When I'm feeling in the mood though, something like the "Mission Impossible" theme
does wonders in traffic :)

Nobody listening to Mary Carey can drive normally. It is not possible; your brain is
in safety-shutdown mode, blocking out all sensory input, which makes safe driving impossible.

I am also wondering about the effect of music on my mental health. I listen, generally,
to goth/industrial and rave music. My therapist has joined the chorus, ok, trio, of people who
have suggested that I mellow out my musical tastes. I know that if I'm wired and I listen to high-
energy music, I get even more wired, sometimes dangerously wired. I know that if I'm depressed
and listen to depressing music it gets worse. My working solution is that if I'm in a bad mental
state or I have a special need of calmness, to listen to calming music. Now here's my question,
why do I freak out if the music gets turned off????
