    Stravinski's 'Rite of Spring' is a famous example, on its debut fights broke out in the audience between opposing factions.

    What about Frampton's tribute to gay love, "I'm In You, You're In me"?

    If "contemporary" includes the 1950s, I'd add all those lily white boys, like Pat Boone, who copped all those great rock and roll songs by black artists and sanitized them for their lily white audiences:
