|Coldplay Viva Car 2011

You might remember last month's survey suggesting people who like Coldplay were the least likely to “go all the way” on a first date. Well, on the plus side, they don't bang other cars either. A new survey by Halfords asked people if their driving was affected by the music they were listening to while behind the wheel. 60% said yes. A couple of the tracks that made them more aggressive: Beastie Boys's "Sabotage" and Kanye West's "Stronger." On the flipside, folks felt mellower in the presence of Jack Johnson (obviously) and Fleetwood Mac. NME posted the top 5 tracks in each category. Surprisingly, Sammy Haggar's nowhere to be seen:
