Great album! Probably the weirdest, most out-there album on my favorites list.

To me there is a huge gap between the top three songs, which are truly special, and the rest.

Re: Rank the Tracks: Patti Smith's Horses (1975)
I never quite got into this album enough to rank each track, but I always considered Free Money the obvious stand-out (although Gloria, with its audacious opening line, would be a good second).

Re: Rank the Tracks: Patti Smith's Horses (1975)
I think I had never listened the full album and it was a mistake, I had an a priori on Patti Smith without any reason.
An excellent surprise.

Re: Rank the Tracks: Patti Smith's Horses (1975)
"Horses" may very well be my least favorite album in the AM top 100. It does have a couple of personal favorite songs, but it also has a couple I really dislike (which, unfortunately, happen to be two of the most popular songs from the album).

Re: Rank the Tracks: Patti Smith's Horses (1975)
Hi,
I tend to be quite a “slow reactor” when I have to qualify records. Normally I need a lot of listenings to give a record 4 stars or more on my Rym.
I perfectly remember the first time I heard Horses. I was so impressed it immediately found a place among my favourite albums.
It was a long time since I last heard it, I don’t know exactly why, but recovering it was a real pleasure. Birdland & elegie are a bit below average in my opinion, but as a whole it makes an incredible album. One of the best I’ve ever heard.
