 The Past... October 6, 2008
Robin E. Minarich (Port Richey, FL USA)
There is nothing like looking back and listening to some good old music. My daughter couldn't get over that we knew the song "The Joker".
WHERE'S THE EARLY STUFF????!!!??? September 22, 2008
Joseph A. Kengor (Youngstown, OH USA)
This collection, although filled with good tunes from Steve Miller, only has three tunes from his first five albums, which were, in my hardly humble opinion, were his best. I have compiled a two disc compilation from my Steve Miller collection that I take on the road, and the whole first disc plus the first 5 tunes of the second disc are tunes I love from the first five albums.
That's what's missing from the Steve Miller CD choices, a two disc comp. with equal emphasis on his whole career. Not even the box set offers enough tunes from the early years, where it really was the Steve Miller BAND, not just a bunch of guys rounded up for each album and tour.
Most folks would be surprised at how great the his early material is/was.
Check out his early albums, especially "Sailor", before they go out of print.
The best of all the best-of Steve Miller compilations September 14, 2008
J. Polsgrove (Southwest)
Let's see, Steve Miller's catalog began collecting "best of" compilations back with "Anthology," and then there was "Best of 1974-78" and "Best of 1968-73" and a more recent simple "Essential Steve Miller." OK, you get the point. My hometown boy has cut some great albums in his day and now that the creative juices have dried up, he's still raking in the cash with all these best-of collections.
I haven't purchased any of them -- until this. Overall, this does a pretty good job of capturing Steve's highest points -- more than any of the other "best-of" compilations, IMHO. It's not perfect, thouogh. There are a few songs that are personal favorites (Song for Our Ancestors from Sailor, for example) that are left off. I got this as a download, so the songs that were left off I went and downloaded individually, so the 22 tracks on this compilation actually come to about 28 on my iPod, and I renamed the original album titles and just made the mp3s part of this.
One thing that does stand out is the crisp remastering. Some of it comes from Steve's catalogue was partially remastered back in '73 when the 35th anniversary of Fly Like An Eagle was released. Others were remastered as recently as 2006. So, overall, the sound quality is very, very good. If you like Steve Miller and you're not wanting to own all his original albums, this compilations is, in my opinion, the best yet.
the best of steve miller July 28, 2008
classic rock fan
here it is all steves best in one small package.until now if you wanted his hits you'd have to buy multiple collections,but its has finally been put into one great cd everything from 1968 to 2003.sure their are a couple of fan favorites left off including "true fine love" which is a glaring omission,but nonetheless if you only want one cd from the steve miller band you cant do better.
Take the Hits and Run July 26, 2008

The Steve Miller Band's expanded greatest-hits package is far from complete when it omits the Top 25 single "Heart Like a Wheel." We're also stuck with shortened versions of "Abracadabra" and "Swingtown." On the plus side, we have the gloriously uncut "Jet Airliner" and early classics such as "Livin' in the U.S.A." With a little more effort, this could have been the definitive Miller collection. Nevertheless, the best tracks - "Take the Money and Run," "The Joker," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Jungle Love" - remain essential.
