You can not have perfect vision without using your ''iris''. Donnie's music has perfect vision.
The hook of Love Is Like A Rock, the story of Agnes, the smooth harmony of Ah. A couple I had forgotten were his. I always loved Donnie's sound and many of his songs. Leah and the throw back to The Rapper are awesome. I love that he stayed true to his style and made it work. Proof that the roots of rock-n-roll are still the best part of it. Love Donnie and his sound. Fun CD to own.
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. 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. This CD is an essential purchase for anyone who loves pop in its purest sense.
I buy MANY albums for one song. this one was no different. If you are REALLY a Donnie Iris fan, get it, otherwise, try to buy the song you want from iTunes. It's not worth 20 bux to get one song.
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. 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.
