The other day I was riding in the car with a few friends and one of them had a Greatest Hits disc of the Steve Miller Band which we played. All of us in the car were in our mid 40's to early 50's so this disc brought some great memories back for us. I especially love the song "Jet Airliner" but the group had several hits including: The Joker Rock N Me Fly Like An Eagle Take The Money And Run Jungle Love Swingtown and others... I've heard Steve Miller still does concerts and puts on a pretty good show.

Absolutely great stuff in my opinion too. They're touring the States this summer, you lucky people over there! I was really taken that SMB's MySpace-site posted a kind comment on our (my brother and I) site! Surely it wasn't Steve but it felt good, in fact I think I was almost over the moon for only three words! How starstruck can you get (even without the star...)!

So what if the words and melody seem to borrow from some other tunes - I just love this song and wish that I could've linked to the magnificent version on their Live In Chicago-DVD/CD... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLSFDOSZw9w&feature=relatedPS. It's VERY cold here in Helsinki at the moment.

I must agree with what has been said so far Steve Miller Band is a good group. Its hrd to argue with the greatest hits package it is a consistantly decent seller even after all these years and I find alot of young people liking the band based on hearing the hits package. I also like the Fly Like an Eagle Record as well as his later single Abracadabra (including on later hits compilations) the video made for that song is kind of funny as well. Don't own alot of their work but the hits package is on my highly recomended list it is one of the better hits packages out ther every track is a classic.
