Best Steve Miller Band Songs

1. Abracadabra

   

   This is my other favorite song next to Jungle Love. I love the vocals and the tunes. It's a great and meaningful song. I love it!

   This song just makes me smile. Really magical song. One of their greatest songs next to The Joker and Fly Like an Eagle.

   Don't think this song gets enough recognition. Love it!

2. The Joker

   

   This song is so good. I love it. The Steve Miller Band is really underrated.

   The best by far. Wild Mountain Honey should be #2.

   It's still a great song. I loved this song since 1974.

3. Fly Like an Eagle

   

   Heard a lot of SMB's stuff. The Joker, Abracadabra, and Jet Airliner (which sounds rather reminiscent of Cross Road Blues by Eric Clapton/Cream) are all great songs. But this one really stands out as their best song.

   The syncopated groove is tight and fits the funky/bluesy feel of the song. However, since the lyrics are simple and tell a somewhat vague story, it makes it easier for me to listen to the song and enjoy the masterful musicianship that Steve Miller has shown us with this track.

   I love everything about this chill song. Definitely one of their best.

4. Jet Airliner

   

   This is their best live performance song next to Abracadabra.

   This is the best song that they have made so far.

   I love this song because I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky stuff going down in the city.

5. Rock'n Me

   

   This song is so catchy. Just picture driving down the highway in a convertible with the top down, the wind in your hair, and this playing. That's the stuff dreams are made of!

   This song is so fun to listen to and sing along with. Can't get much better than this!

   Homecoming, prior to the football game my senior year.

6. Jungle Love

   

   This is my other favorite Steve Miller song next to Abracadabra. It's a song you can really get into, and it's got some kick-ass tunes. I love this song. It deserves more credit.

   My absolute favorite! It's his catchiest and best song. It has nowhere near enough airplay on the radio.

   This song can take me right back to when it was new.

7. Take the Money and Run

   

   So many worthy options top this list. However, there's something about Billy Joe and Bobby Sue that pulls this song to number one in the ranks, at least for me. I feel that for many Steve Miller fans, this is the one you roll down the window and blast while shouting to the bewilderment of the surrounding traffic. Even for an 18-year-old such as myself. Awesome song!

   Why the heck is this only number seven?! I love every song on this list, but this song just takes the cake, and the money, then runs away.

8. Swingtown

   

   This song gets the blood flowing. It has a mellow tone and hearty beat that gets the party started. It's the wind-up and opening pitch that starts the night off right. The Steve Miller Band songs pop visuals of the stories being performed in my head like mini-movies.

   This song gets me pumped up for the great time the night has to offer. The top ten here showcase the strength in lyrical storytelling and musical talent at its finest from The Steve Miller Band. "So, come on baby, let's dance!"

9. Space Cowboy

   This is Steve's best and most fun song to sing along with. I do indeed hear the similarities with The Joker, but who really cares? Relax, both are good music.

   Really underrated song, and no, it isn't the same as "The Joker." At all.

10. Serenade

    

    In my humble opinion, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by any band, period.

    This is the coolest song. Steve Miller is so talented, so glad he is still touring!

    It's not just one of the best songs of his, it's the best one.

14. Winter Time

    

    This is their most melodic song!

15. Dance, Dance, Dance

    

    This song is so full of life. All I want to do when I hear it is sing along and dance.
