Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077774610124 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 46101 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Greatest-hits collections often deprive the listener of the chance to experience an artist's true scope of talent. Not so with Steve Miller--his strength has always been more in crafting an occasional blast of FM-radio heaven rather than a dozen solid album tracks. Greatest Hits 1974-78 chronicles the best singles from Miller's most successful years, after he veered from Haight-Ashbury bluesy trippiness to more accessible blues-based pop-rock. There are the slippery grooves of "The Joker" and "Fly Like an Eagle," and there's the air-guitar-beckoning riff rock of "Take the Money and Run," "Jungle Love," "Rock n'Me," and "Jet Airliner." Don't expect groundbreaking art, expect references to the "pompatus of love" and instant gratification. Requisite listening at the classic-rock keg party. --Neal Weiss Album Description: 180 Gram/Audiophile pressing Printed sleeve Album Description: Vinyl LP repressing of this classic collection from the Rock guitarist. Features the absolute biggest hits from his mid to late '70s period including 'Rock 'N Me', 'The Joker', 'Jungle Love' and many more. Capitol. 2008. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Steve Miller - an all-time greatSteve Miller has to be on anybody's top-ten lists for the eighties. And his songs last. They still sound original and fresh. Rating: - Great Steve Miller CompilationAll of the songs on here are great. Just put the cd in and hit play. Rating:  - a good start, but that's about itJust because Steve Miller's greatest hits album captures the bands most popular/commercial moments, DOES NOT mean it's the only Steve Miller Band album you should own. In fact, this is one band where the hits aren't nearly as good as the lesser known songs, or especially the live tracks (try to track down an early live Steve Miller recording, and you'll never come back to this album again). Rating: - Great Classic RockI think the Steve Miller Band had some awesome songs on this CD and I am so glad Amazon.com had it available for such a great price. Thanks for the great oldie music availability. Rating: - A Roundup Of Space Cowboy HitsThis is another Greatest Hits release from the Steve Miller Band, (after Greatest Hits 1968-73), offering a collection of his greatest hits from the highest point of his career, in the mid 1970s. In this 14-song package, 13 of the hits come from two of his albums, released in adjacent years 1976 (Fly Like An Eagle,(FLAE)), and 1977 (Book Of Dreams, (BOD)). The songs for these two albums were recorded at the same time, but split among two albums rather than being released on an extra long album ... Read More |
