What Patty Smith album to own?

Wow, does that bring back memories. Gilda was great. Who could forget: "never miiiiind."

Sorry to divert from the topic, but was FEAR, the (#%&*!!! AMAZING!!) punk band w/ Lee Ving her (Candy Slice's) back up band?

"Damn it, Mick. With your hair so long and your lips so thick. Damn it, Mick."

I've followed Patti since I first saw her perform in Central Park NYC in 1975. I've got everyone of her LP's & CD's. She's amazing.

Horses and Easter are all time favorites, but each LP is different, and good in their own right, from Horses, Radio Ethiopa, through to Trampin of today. Another of my favorites, of more recent vintage is Dream of Life.

Here is a great link to her lyrics:

The book "Patti Smith" is a good one for those into Patti.

Got Horses. First listen was a little difficult for me. The first cut, Gloria, started me off on the wrong track. Horses was better the second listen. Patti Smith is like uni, I suppose. Takes a while to acquire a taste. Hey, I love uni, now. I'll keep at it. Easter is on the way..
