Steve Miller Band

The Steve Miller Band is a blues rock band dating back to the sixties. They have been greatly popular, with five certified albums. Their first greatest hits went diamond. They had numerous hit singles, some certified. They were a part of the Haight-Ashbury sound going on at the time and even performed at the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967. Soul musician Seal covered Fly Like an Eagle for the film Space Jam. Their song Space Cowboy was the basis for the Smash Mouth hit Walkin' on the Sun. Only Miller was inducted, however, likely due to the instability of the Steve Miller Band lineup. However, several bands have been inducted with large lineups. The Hall has a long history of neglecting backing groups. This is shameful. Miller himself is actually from Michigan. Blue-eyed soul musician Boz Scaggs was also a member, albeit briefly. Miller was inducted by blues rock band The Black Keys. Miller is to be inducted into the Songwriter Hall of Fame.
