One controversial piece of music (though old) is the Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky. Because of the dissonance throughout the piece, it caused a riot when it was performed (the audience's brains were not used to, or desensitized, this sort of music).

This is actually the key to most controversy in music. More contemporary Rap music and Rock Music have become controversial in recent times, although Rock music has enjoyed a longer examination. Largely, this is due to the lyrics than the musical accompaniment.
