Whether positive or negative, this is a list and conversation of songs that are controversial in one way or another. I decided to try and do a few different little sections of the ~themes~ that the controversies fall under. So, whether they defy social norms, cultural expectations, they discuss violence in a very direct manner, etc... here are some tracks that made people mad. (again, justifiably so sometimes, and extremely not justifiably so in other times)

Like a virgin’s controversy is not just that it was sexually provocative. Having a woman named Madonna (like the VIRGIN Mary) wearing crucifix jewelry, dressed as a wedding night virgin was def her first of many times she challenged the repressive ideals of the Catholic Church. Pop genius!!!

Green Day created a timeless song, American Idiot is arguably more relevant than it ever has been.

An alternative to Rock around the clock would be Link Ray-Rumble.
That song was blacklisted for causing riots and Iggy Pop credits it as the first punk song.

I would be down for an entire series of these

Another one for protest songs: Nina Simone's Mississippi Goddam is an awesome song. It was banned in several Southern states. Boxes of promotional singles sent to radio stations around the country were returned with each record broken in half.

Rock around the clock slaps unironically

Love killing in the name of became a protest song for Christmas number 1 in the UK to fight against the music industry and led to rage doing a free gig

Strange Fruit is unique for me in that it truly scared me and was all I could think about for a few days. It brought a guttural realism to the issue that I had never experienced before. That song is so important.

finally someone mentioning that Lady gaga IS one of us and not just an ally, ppl forget that's she's also bi

Honorable mentions:
Blowin’ in the wind/ like a rolling stone
A change’s gonna come
Darling Nikki
London calling (imo the best representation of a punk song, but I’d say the ramones debut album had a bigger impact)
Redemption song

You know what's worse than robin thicke performing 'blurred lines'? The cast of glee performing it

It just rather sucks that one of the most beloved anthems of peace protests, "Imagine", was written by a misogynist with a proclivity for beating women.

Another important factor of rock'n'roll is it's history of incorporating black music, especially blues (the bass lines, which is one of the most notably different features compared to for example swing and other at the time popular music), which also caused more diversity because suddenly there was something that younger people bonded over regardless of skin color or background, which was another big factor as to why it was called devil's music(which so far was mostly used to describe of off spring of blues, like rock and roll, and all the followings of that, and soul).
Rock and roll also was special because unlike previous rebellious music(blues and jazz mainly), rock'n'roll was party music, not slow and melancholic or so, but fast and upbeat.

regarding politics, Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" is one of the most influential ever. likewise, "We Shall Overcome."

Strange Fruit got Billie Holliday hounded to death by Harry Anslinger (the head of the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics)

Green Day and System of a Down are what I think of when I think of 21st century protest songs

I LOVE that you went way back! I’d love to see a much longer exploration of this topic on more songs.

liz phair's 'exile in guyville' was pretty controversial as an album, with people not being used to songs being so open. tori amos also had tons of controversial songs for the same reason (like 'me and a gun')

Baby it’s cold outside is a classier song than blurred lines blurred lines is trashy and rapey as hell

The thing that made Green Day's music so popular and still so everlasting is that it doesn't explicitly mention Bush or Iraq. Most other protest songs just couldn't break the mould and didn’t catch on.
