The Steve Miller Band
« on: August 07, 2011, 08:45:56 PM »
Alright, so I don't expect this to get a lot of traffic, being a prog forum where music that is short and simple often gets made fun of. However, I love this band. It is awesome party rock, and I really think that is what a lot of classic rock was about. Fly Like An Eagle and Book of Dreams are two of my favorite albums and to me, 2 of the best albums of the 70's. Short, sweet, rockin, and fun. Anybody dig these guys? I'm counting on you Fogey's.

Oh, and I'm seeing them tomorrow, which is why I made this thread.

I love the song "Swingtown" I've been trying to play the drum intro, almost got it.

I do enjoy Steve Miller's music

Not a big fan but do like most of their better known material. I've always liked this little ditty in particular:

Big fan of both albums you mentioned, lots of great songs and both albums aside from the radio hits as well

The long version of Jet Airliner is a little proggy in the intro too....

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
