I've seen them on several AOR lists before, so yeah.
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 6:21 amSteve Miller SUCKS ASS. Horrible, terrible music.
Most of these bands are fantastic. Good call for the most part.

I used to love Steve Miller back when I first got into rock music but haven't spun much of his stuff in AGES.
Bland, really.

Does that mean you're not one of those middleage men that troll the Mall Singing “Abra Abra Cadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya”?

Karaoke has scarred me for life. When I was a young man in Japan ( around 1985), going into a bar as an american immediately meant that I was required to sing one of the four english songs on the karaoke box. The payout would be free beer and perhaps some slanted love later that evening.
Here were my choices:
1.My way
2.New York, New York
3.When the Saints go marching in
4.Yesterday
Almost twentyfive years later I can still hear those songs in my head while in the midst of having a hump and sometimes I'll even start singing them whilest in the act. Obviously, I need fucking help.

Get his latest DVD, can't remember what it's called. It SMOKES! Great production values, great performances, tons of energy from the band. It will definitely give you a new outlook on Steve's music. Part of the problem with Steve is his flagship songs are those classic rock overkill songs - you hear em over and over on radio, commercials, movies, TV, what have you. I think that is what is probably partly contributing to your thinking.

Well you got me there. I don't think I've ever had a song stuck in my head during a hump.
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 9:27 amGreat list for a change, but theres no way Journey should be #9 behind all those Crap Bands!! 
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 1:05 pmI don't know how REO and BOC made it higher than TOTO, but anyway..
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 1:13 pmJourney should have rated above everyone in this top 10 except maybe Queen.
I'm saying that for the general populous. For me, they bury Queen.
