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

 essential album for any road trip December 26, 2008
Joshua Banker (Clovis, CA)
The best Steve Miller Band Collection. Perfect length. All classic rock staples. No fillers (like the band's complete greatest hits album) which keeps this cd rockin' thru all the tracks.
I will admit that I have never really looked into any of the band's albums so I can't claim that this is the ONLY Steve Miller Band CD to own but the quality of these songs really help pass the time on the open road and is great for a good pick me out.
Some of the highlights for me are "Take the Money and Run", "The Joker", and "Fly Like An Eagle".
Good oldies November 23, 2008

Just a great compilation. Beware if you let Itunes manage after ripping to your PC, Itunes in all its wisdom buries this as a compilation.......
Steve Miller - an all-time great September 15, 2008
J. Boatright (Bakersfield, CA USA)
Steve Miller has to be on anybody's top-ten lists for the eighties. And his songs last. They still sound original and fresh.
Great Steve Miller Compilation June 16, 2008
Nick Hardeman (Florida, USA)
All of the songs on here are great. Just put the cd in and hit play.
 a good start, but that's about it June 12, 2008
B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
Just 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).
