Let me know what you think! It’s a departure from 2001, but not a big one. Definitely more modern.

“Don’t demand respect, command it.”
Aretha Franklin - Aretha’s Greatest Hits
Aretha had started out her time at Atlantic Records merely asking for your Respect, but by the time this greatest hits comp had come out just 4 years later (not to mention the rest of her career), the Queen of Soul commanded it!

January 12: Patti Smith
Patti Smith is celebrated for her revolutionary contributions to the punk rock movement in the 1970s, blending poetry with music in a unique and influential way. Her distinctive vocal style and powerful stage presence have captivated audiences, earning her a reputation as the "punk poet laureate." Beyond her musical prowess, Smith's socially conscious lyrics and fearless approach to self-expression resonated with a generation seeking authenticity and rebellion. Her legacy endures not only for her iconic albums like "Horses" but also for inspiring subsequent generations of artists to embrace individuality and challenge conventional norms in the world of music.
To be honest, I am the least familiar with Patti Smith out of all of the oracles thus far. That will change today! That being said, consider playing an album today either by Patti Smith, reflecting her influence, OR explore music by an artist you're less acquainted with but eager to discover.

Day 12.1
Patti Smith Group - Radio Ethiopia
Patti Smith is also a blind spot for me. I have spent some time with Horses and Easter. I own none on vinyl. This seemed like a good place to further my experience based on what was available on Qobuz.

X - Los Angeles
A band I don’t know much about. Furthermore a band most definitely influenced by Patti Smith. In fact John Doe was inspired to start a punk band after hearing Horses.
As for enthusiasm towards the band, some of you may know that I started this thread:

Because I felt like I didn’t know enough about punk and chose the RS list of the greatest punk albums to explore the genre (and its offshoots) which is how I came to hear this album which led to me purchasing a copy! Which reminds me I should finish listening to the rest of the albums on that list:

The Funhouse - The Punks are all right
So, I chose to do a deep dive in Punk. I've started in the most unpunk way possible, I'm going to spend a week with each of the Rolling Stone's top 40 Punk records 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time (I'm not even a punk authority and I wonder about some of the things included, more on that in...

Going with an album that features Bruce's version of Because The Night as I don't have any Patti on vinyl. Plus its just a great collection of live tracks.
However, she did play this when I saw her back in 2015 when she put on a very impassioned performance. And a cllp of this song happens to be the only video that I can find on Youtube of that night.

Patti Smith - Horses
This is my favorite Patti Smith album and the only one I have on wax so I am pleased that no one has spun it yet.

Blue Öyster Cult – Agents Of Fortune
Patti Smith co-wrote a small handful of BÖC songs during their first decade. And in the case of "The Revenge Of Vera Gemini," found here on Agents of Fortune, she even sang with them! Closing song "Debbie Denise" is a Patti Smith co-write too.
