Song of the day for November 10, 2024

Gloria by Patti Smith is today’s featured song.

On this day in 1975, Patti Smith released her debut album, Horses. Considered to be a seminal title in punk rock – as well as the genre’s first major label release – the album blended elements of the emerging genre with avant-garde and art rock. Broadly acclaimed upon its release, Horses would become highly influential, informing new wave, alt-rock, and grunge acts over the coming decades, including Morrissey, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, and PJ Harvey. Hailed by many outlets as one of the greatest albums of all time, Horses was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2009.
