04/25/2008 | Yes. His group can be traced back tothe Sand Fraqncisco scene of the '60'sand continued through the 70's and into the '80's with hits. For a while, Boz Scaggs was part of the band. Although people remember him most for the string of hits starting with "the Joker", earlier songs, such as "Space Cowboy" are as good, or better. If the Righteous Brothers are in, the Steve Miller Band should be also.

01/14/2008 | Most of the arguments here are in favour of Steve Miller's induction based on his sales/chart performance over an extended period. Those purely statistical considerations may get you into Cooperstown, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should celebrate art not output. He's just a guy who had a decent batting average and a lot of hits but overall was a pretty boring player.

07/12/2007 | No doubt this crafty good-time wizard of blue-eyed blues-pop should be in there! His songs are all stamped in classic rock DNA! You can't free yourself from the intro riff of Fly Like an Eagle, or the silly lyrics of the JOKER. How did he turn into such a tunesmith? I never liked his late 60's stuff, except when he screamed, 'SOMEBODY GET ME A CHEESEBURGER!'

01/16/2007 | a band founded by Mr. Miller , an american blues and rock and roll guitarist. Miller never had much to say, he's a professional who's not much of an inverntor but one hell of a craftsman. Theyre are so catchy and tuneful.

11/05/2006 | Steve Miller is way past due for being inducted into the hall of fame. He helped change the top 40 radio world in the seventies from the bubble gum pop of- Neil Sedaka and Captain & Tenille-into good feeling rock and roll that influenced a generation, He helped form and shape the early 60's expiremental rock with his mix of psychedelic and blues/rock. Ask any serious rock history expert and they will tell you how Steve Miller's first five albums were some of the 60's best examples of San Franscisco/love rock scene. He has endured through the years as one of the most talented musicians in the rock world. His music is still being discovered and enjoyed by newer generations of music lovers. It is time to give the honor that is due to him and not to let time keep on slippin away.

07/13/2005 | Yeah, I love this guy. Fresh and original, wrote a lot of cool little songs. Nothing epic, but he was great, at least in the 70's. SOme of his best stuff is the earlier blues stuff.

A dated 70's dude who still is living off his reputation as evidenced by his 5th Summer Tour with no new album. And Abracadabra is certified garbage! No!

05/04/2005 | Yeah he deserves to be in the hall. He had great songs like Fly Like an Eagle, Jungle love, The Joker, Keep on Rockin' Me, and Take the money and Run. Boz Scaggs started with him. If he even thinks about performing Abracadabra, the officials should walk up to the stage and tell him he's expelled from the hall.

04/12/2005 | They had legs, so that supports their case. From Space Cowboy in the Early '70s to Abracadabra in the '80s. While some of their songs sound pretty dated (Jet Airliner and Fly Like an Eagle), The Joker is timeless. They deserve it; it ain't like it's Air Supply or something.
