I really like contemporary atonal classical music, though finding good pieces requires digging through a pile of poo poo. So I really hope someone here can share his findings.
Here are some I've found that really achieve being perfectly original, something you've never heard before, and genius, but are also touching, something you can connect to and understand emotionally (an aspect most music of this type lacks).

Grisey - Partiels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX77MC5oXDY
Berio - Sequenza nr. 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf90X0CNxcI
Gubaidulina - Seven words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g33S4XQ7qWs

The 60s and 70s were a weird time. Most composers have moved away from this kind of experimentation. It's not really something I like to listen to casually, but I think it's really a great thing to experience live. If there's a university near you I'd check out what kind of recitals are being put on, as that's probably the best place to hear avant-garde music live, for cheap(or free).
