Patti Smith is a punk-rocker with an artistic heart. She excellently combined poetry with rock and roll and managed to achieve absolute success. Patti is one of the most influential female punk-rock artists, and in 2007, she got included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
One of her most famous songs is "Because the Night," which got written alongside Bruce Springsteen. It's Patti's most successful song to date, reaching the number 13th spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The experimental nature of her songs made her music somewhat inaccessible, asserting the claim that what's unique and daring shouldn't be easy to understand by everyone. That's why Patti Smith remained a relatively uncommercial figure throughout her career, and that spurred further music creativity. She's a real rock and roll pioneer who is compared to the female version of Bob Dylan because of her artistic character.
