Pound for pound there isn't a better singalong song than "The Joker"

[LynneSin]

Say what you will about Steve Miller Band - but secretly I know that when the song comes on the radio, you turn up the volume and sing at the top of your lungs:

I'm a Joker, I'm a Smoker, I'm a Midnight Toker
Get my loving on the run

1. I Know I Always Liked It

Easy to play on guitar too! Some interesting single note acoustic stuff going on. BTW: That whole album is really good!
The Professor

3. One one one cause you left and two two two for my heartache and three ...

Violent Femmes.

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like the Steve Miller Band. That greatest hits album was issued to us in high school.

6. Oh come on - you love "The Joker"

Seriously, why do you let the terrorists win?

[Richardo]

7. Because I'm a liberal and I hear that's what we do.

I can change the stations and/or toss the radio out the window before they get through the first measure of that song.

5. Start a I like Steve Miller Band thread - they exist

and they all have memberships here at DU

My SMB Greatest Hits was issued to me my Freshman year of college. I think I was the one that start the SMB Greatest Hits trend during that era. When I started college no one owned that Cassette and by the end of college I had everyone owning a copy

along with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs.

and a few others.

10. Boz Scaggs used to be in Miller's band

back when I liked them: Children of the Future, Sailor, etc. (Although I think he'd left by Brave New World, which is my favorite Miller LP.)

9. I never thought he was awful

There was worse shit hitting the airwaves back then.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Yes, I do.

I always sing along to that song, SMB or no. It's one of their few good songs.
