Send us a textPatti 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.

From the iconic opening riff of Seven Nation Army to the bluesy swagger of Ball And Biscuit, this record is a masterclass in how to make maximum impact with minimal tools.
