Produced by pop master Todd Rundgren, Patti Smith Group’s 1979 albumWavewas more abstract than its predecessor ‘Easter’, but still features another strong set of songs. The album contains the hits “Frederick”, “So You Want to Be (A Rock N Roll Star)” and “Revenge”.Wavewas the last album to include the complete, original Patti Smith Group.

It is no wonder the Patti Smith’s musical career started out as a spoken word poet. Slurring the vocals, spitting them angrily, stretching single words into sheer infinities, Smithtruly is an artist of the word. She smears every letter onto an aural canvas painting something between abstraction and detailed portrait of an issue.
