Greatest Hits 1974-78 Steve Miller Band Artist

{|Greatest Hits 1974-1978|} collects the majority of {|Steve Miller|}'s biggest hits -- The Joker, Take the Money and Run, Rock 'n Me, Fly Like an Eagle, Jet Airliner, Jungle Love, Swingtown -- plus seven album tracks that received a fair amount of airplay on {|album rock|} radio. The collection only covers a total of three albums ({|The Joker|}, {|Fly Like an Eagle|}, {|Book of Dreams|}), with the latter two providing the bulk of the material. Because of this, {|Living in the USA,|} one of {|Miller|}'s biggest hits of the late '60s and early '70s, isn't included, but it's hardly missed, since all of his other hits of the '70s are included. The thoroughness of {|Greatest Hits 1974-1978|} makes it an excellent introduction to {|Miller|}, and for many casual fans, it also means that they can contain their {|Steve Miller|} collection to one disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
