Keep Wagner Out of the Car - An article from the Associated Press warns that Richard Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” has been deemed to loud to play in the car while driving, because loud music can cause accidents. The RAC Foundation for Motoring in Britain named Wagner’s masterpiece the No. 1 song to avoid playing when you drive. Other songs that topped the list as off limits for driving were “Dies Irae” from Giuseppe Verdi’s “Requiem”, and the modern songs “Firestarter” by the Prodigy, “Red Alert” by Basement Jaxx and “Insomnia” by Faithless.

Songs judged calm enough to listen to while driving were Norah Jones’ smash hit “Come Away with Me”, “Mad World” by Gary Jules, “Another Day” by R&B singer Lemar, “Too Lost in You” by girl group The Sugababes and “Breathe Easy” by Blue.
