Horses by Patti Smith
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
Patti Smith’s Horses, released 50 years ago today, remains one of the most startling and transformative debuts in rock history. Half a century on, it still feels raw, defiant, and ahead of its time, a record that blurred the lines between poetry, performance art, and primal rock and roll. Smith showed that rock could be intellectual without being pretentious, mystical without being escapist, feminine without being weak.
