Head-banging heavy metal music may be OK to listen to while driving -- but stay away from some of the older classical stuff.

Britain's RAC Foundation has named Richard Wagner's fast-paced "Ride of the Valkyries" as the top tune not to listen to while behind the wheel. The group says Canadian research shows loud music can cause accidents by delaying reaction times up to 20 percent.

The RAC found that drivers who were listening to music with a fast beat were twice as likely to go through a red light and have twice as many accidents.

Three modern songs also made the top five most-dangerous list:

Wagner, "The Ride of the Valkyries"
Prodigy, "Firestarter"
Basement Jaxx, "Red Alert"
Faithless, "Insomnia"
Verdi, "Dies Irae (Requiem)"

The foundation also provided a top-five list of songs that can be played safely while driving, though it cautions the volume should be kept down.

That list includes the Norah Jones hit "Come Away with Me."

The rest of the recommended easy-listening songs:

Gary Jules, "Mad World"
Lemar, "Another Day"
Sugababes, "Too Lost in You"
Blue, "Breathe Easy"
