Music has often been a source of controversy in modern
society. Attempts have been made to
censor and destroy music that has been deemed offensive and inappropriate. Here, we have assembled ten of the most
controversial pieces of music ever released.
We have chosen them based on two criteria: if they were revolutionary
pieces of music that challenged established norms and created great discord in
the musical community and if they created moral panics that led to cries for
censorship. I have arranged them
chronologically from when they were first released or performed in their
entirety.
Some of these most controversial songs of all time have made
history, and some have reached the most popular song charts. If you’re curious

wondering which are these famous tracks which caused unease and in some cases
even produced a revolution, and which were often either censored or banned
altogether, take a look at the list insidermonkey compiled, gathering the ten
most controversial songs of all time.
