At this writing there are about a dozen "best-of" collections on the market of Iggy Pop's major-label work, and until someone compiles one more comprehensive than 2005's A Million in Prizes: The Anthology, there is no need to release another. Does everyone understand this? While there are already a bunch of dodgy collections of Iggy's music out there, 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection has the very serious drawback of having been drawn primarily from Pop's recordings for A&M Records. Iggy cut two albums for A&M, Blah Blah Blah and Instinct, and to be blunt, they're two of the weakest records of his career, and while listening to four cuts from one and two from the other is better than sitting through the entirety of both, that hardly makes this a good album. The disc is padded out with three live numbers from a 1988 promo-only LP that are OK but not especially remarkable (and hardly adequate substitutes for the original versions of "Kill City," "1969," and "I Wanna Be Your Dog"), and two numbers licensed from another label, and it's significant that they're the best songs on the disc. If you don't own an Iggy Pop album, there's no question that you need one, but by no means is this a good place to start. Try A Million in Prizes, Nude & Rude: The Best of Iggy Pop, or Lust for Life, still his strongest solo disc, and you'll get an idea of why this man is important. 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection works best as a reminder that Iggy Pop made some really lamentable career choices in the 1980s.
