Three favorites:
"Your Saving Grace"
"Recall the Beginning"
"Brave New World"
I also love #5.
"Your Saving Grace" is not currently available on CD. This is so wrong! Nicky Hopkins does some excellent work on that album. |

I love Steve Miller! Saw him in concert '78? The album, can't recall the name, that has 'Take the Money & Run' is great! Brings back some great memories. |

he was amazing when i saw him years ago. right after hendrix died, ans steve did a tribute to him that was just fanfuckintastic.
i love children of the future (the album) and sailor (the album) and "your saving grace" the album....they werevery important when they were released. he and boz skaggs...best of the best.
he is a great guitar player.
i hate seeing him now, does the old shit (abracadabra, big ol' jet airliner, etc) it's crap.
but in his day, he was one of the very best! |

Saw him at the Fillmore in '96 - just doing blues songs - did an incredible Cream-like cover of RJ's Crossroads. Blew the roof off - never seen any recordings circulate from that tour - if anyone knows of one - lemme know. |

I heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinnin'
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin' for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face
I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round

Miller's song Brave New World is a blatant rip off of the Beatles.."I Think Its Getting Better All The Time" |

Some of his stuff from the early/mid 70's ain't bad, but unfortunately the sheer lyrical inanity that is "The Joker" has resulted in me having a deliberate mental block on remembering anything I may have at one time liked. |

Argh! I knew there would be someone to rip on the beloved soundtrack of my best high school memories. That's the problem with hanging on a board full of people with good taste... |

sorry, Caro, but "lovey dovey/lovey dovey/lovey dovey/all the time (wah wah)/ooh-ee baby, I'll sure show you a good time" is undoubtedly the worst lyrical couplet in the history of the gramophone record... |

LOL! Well ok. In my defense, my english skills were very limited around the time I discovered the song. |

I don't be-lieve it!
The fucking "Joker" has just started playing on the radio in my office!
Cue "Twilight Zone" music...
I think that's my signal to get the hell out of here and go home for the day.... |

Gazza, the "cyber-space" cowboy. 
PS. Maxlugar told me that Ellen Degenerate is a cowboy (or, she plays a cowboy for Portia De Rossi). |

while we're on the subject - what the hell is the "pompitous (sp) of love"? I've never heard that word anywhere else in my entire life |

Chicks loved Miller.
I learned to like Miller, as I dug chicks.
Then I turned them onto the Stones.
Had them eating out of my hands... |

Someone gave me a Steve Miller greatest hits CD.
It was blank.
Ba-rump-bump.
Actually, someone really did give me a Steve Miller greatest CD....I don't remember ever playing it.
I always thought Steve Miller would fit in nice with The Eagles or Steely Dan. Ersatz music. Soft rock lite. |
