Patti Smith : Horses
Horses
is the debut
studio album
by American musician
Patti Smith
released on
December 13, 1975
on Arista Records.
Smith,
a fixture of the
then-burgeoning
New York
punk rock music scene,
began recording
Horses
with her band in 1975
after being signed
to Arista Records,
with John Cale
being enlisted to
produce the album.
With its fusion of
simplistic
ock and roll structures
and Smith's freeform,
Beat poetry-infused lyrics,
Horses
was met with widespread
critical acclaim
upon its initial release.
Despite a lack of airplay
or a popular single
to support the album,
it nonetheless
experienced modest
commercial success,
managing a
top 50 placing
on the US Billboard 200.
Horses
has since been
viewed by critics
as one of the greatest
and most influential albums
in the history of
the American
punk rock movement,
as well as one
of the greatest
albums of all time.
Horses
has also been cited as
a key influence on a number
of succeeding punk,
post-punk,
and alternative rock acts,
including
Siouxsie and the Banshees,
Courtney Love,
The Smiths,
and
Garbage
