Customer Rating:      Summary: Great New-Wave Power-Pop From Donnie Iris Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Eh... Nothing special, really... Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great memories from this CD! Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Save money Comment: Maybe it was me but this and Back on the Streets were expensive and kinda hard to find got both at decent price they sound fine sometimes this is good place to find elusive cd's
Customer Rating:      Summary: Thank You Donnie Iris & MCA Records!!! Comment: Can't say enough good about this collection!
An absolute stunner of early 80's pop. Think The Knack, Marshall Crenshaw, Moon Martin.....
Okay Universal (MCA), your next move should be to release a DVD compilation of Donnie Iris' hits under the companion series of 20th Century Masters DVD Collection. You've done the same for so many other artists.....
