In 1974, the single "Piss Factory" which was widely considered the first real punk song was recorded by the band which was formed by Patti Smith. She made a music deal with Arista Record in next year after Bob Dylan noticed her fantastic talent in her concert. The best know album of Patti Smith is horse. She had formed the relationship with Fred "Sonic" Smith. This caused the temporary stop in her punk rock career. However, after the death of Fred "Sonic" Smith, Patti Smith has released over 10 albums.
The top 5 essential albums of Patti Smith are Gone Again, Radio Ethiopia, Banga, Easter and Horses. Gone Again which was released in 1996 had the ability to capture hopefulness, petulant malaise and grunge. Radio Ethiopia consisted of the solo of a power and scratchy guitar amongst her own vocal delivery with semi-crooning and bluesy expressions. Banga is the most recent album of Patti Smith, which appeared in Hollywood. Easter is the album which reflected the social issue. Horse is the most famous album of Patti Smith. Horse has the inarguable significance in history, which is beyond and above every particular aesthetic considerations. A dauntless new imaginary voice was brought to the popular music. It showed an interesting and twisted fact: the rocker/poet was female. For the people who lived outside New York, this was their first time to experience punk.
