I don't think it's control for me, but more of a reflection of how I'm feeling or who is present. If a sad song comes on and I'm not feeling sad...I can't stand listening to it. The same with upbeat, or down and dirty rock n roll.

Our preferred musical tastes: Heavy Metal, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Country, Blues, Pop, Rap...

Most of the time when we're over thinking (talking) I'll turn on the music to get some peace.

We have so much head chatter happening that I'm so distracted that I don't even put the music on. I can drive for an hour and realize that it's quiet and turn on the radio 5 minutes to the destination or pulling up into the driveway.

Music also triggers switching here. Our musicians or dancers will present, depending on the music playing. We've had 4 of us drive home one day in one trip! Lol
