It's a tough call isn't it? Ultimately you're in the best seat to test whether or not a song will suit the footage. I personally love watching performance videos without music as I like to hear mechanical noises. When those videos have audio it really upsets me.

Here's a great example of a video where the sound of cars is just HEAVEN:

And here's a video where the sound of the cars would be heaven, but the audio dates and kills it:

But on the other hand, music works well to set the mood of more refined video productions. The best audio tracks in my opinion are ones which are instrumental and ones which I've not heard before too (ie: not top 10 hits or classics that everyone knows). The problem with songs that everyone knows is that you're instantly going to have people who either love or hate it and you're also more likely going to get in trouble with the copyright police.
