Donnie's music has perfect vision. You can not have perfect vision without using your ''iris''.
Love Donnie and his sound. The hook of Love Is Like A Rock, the story of Agnes, the smooth harmony of Ah. Leah and the throw back to The Rapper are awesome. I always loved Donnie's sound and many of his songs. Fun CD to own. I love that he stayed true to his style and made it work. A couple I had forgotten were his. Proof that the roots of rock-n-roll are still the best part of it.
This CD is an essential purchase for anyone who loves pop in its purest sense. The music on this collection, despite its slickness, holds up better than most other early 80s postpunk, perhaps because instead of spewing insults (a no-no in my Jewish faith), it attempted to deepen a tradition. 20TH CENTURY MASTERS: THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION is a great piece of new-wave power-pop from Donnie Iris, who first came to fame in the Jaggerz with the hit "The Rapper." His best, and biggest, solo hits were "Ah. Leah." and "Love Is Like A Rock", both of which are included here.
It's not worth 20 bux to get one song. If you are REALLY a Donnie Iris fan, get it, otherwise, try to buy the song you want from iTunes. I buy MANY albums for one song. this one was no different.
The songs brought back great memories of when Donnie Iris performed at my alma mater, Slippery Rock University, where he also attended and grew up near. I have been looking for this collection of music, from a singer and band who are from the area I went to college near, and finally found it.
