Patti Smith, "Because the Night," 1978

Wow, seeing this I've performance makes me like Patti Smith a lot.

Her song, "People Have the Power," from her 1988 album, Dream of Life, is pretty good.  Not great.  Maybe too melodic and not enough bite.  

Her better work comes when she goes full grunge or Lou Reed with a feminine twist, like her 1979 "Dancing Barefoot."

"Smell of Teen Spirit," released on April 17, 2007 as part of her album Twelve).  Patti Smith’s version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” often searched as “Smell of Teen Spirit” is a cover track on her 2007 album Twelve.
