I used to get into arguements about this with a friend, she used to say it don't and then I would tell her then why are you driving 80 miles an hour during Metallica's one song !

Music has always been used to change people's moods. Hymns can be uplifting or put you in a reverent state, loud fast music is used at sporting events to get the crowd pumped up, if you are old (like me) you will remember Muzak in stores that was played to get people to buy things (they had the music choices analyzed to find ones that put people in a buying mood)
As for driving, whenever I hear certain songs I drive too fast, too. (Pump It, Bat Out of Hell, etc)
Even primitive tribes used drumming and chanting during ceremonies. There's just something music that gets in our brains and changes us some way.

The question should really be "is it possible to put on music and it not effect the way you feel?". I find what I am listening to (and sometimes watching the video also) always reflects the mood I`m in and ALWAYS changes the way I feel. In fact while typing this answer (on monitor 2) I am playing pop videos on monitor 1, and depending which song is on is having a major influence on what type of questions I`m answering and how I am answering them. By the way "Let me entertain you" was playing while I answered this question.

Music has a unique way of effecting a persons ideas, feelings and moods. I noticed this when I was younger. I sing vocals in our band, and I'll tell you it is never more evident then with country music. You could be feeling rowdy, loud and a good slow country song comes on. It takes your ears and holds them through the entire song,. When its done, you can relate or feel. It works in the opposite to. Your sad, a great jam comes on the radio and takes you away. So I agree with you. your music choice effects you, without a doubt.

I think YES.
I play Santur (an Iranian instrument) and it really changes my life. It caused me to study music in university and I'm so happy that it was happen. Music is influence our souls. It can take us to another world. You see that this days music is used to cure diseases. Then how we can say that it can't change our feelings.

I have songs that pick me up when i am down, i have songs that remind me of my love who is far away from me, but song we shared and still share and it makes me feel him close to me, i have songs that can make me cry when i feel sad and lonely and the tears don't want to come....... so yes, music can defenitely change my mood!
