The Cranberries' brief residency at the top of the alternative rock food chain in the early '90s produced a handful of excellent singles, a fact that's driven home effectively on the blissfully brief 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Cranberries. Listeners who balked at Island's jam-packed Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 -- some versions included a bonus disc and a DVD -- will find everything they need here ("Zombie,""Dreams,""Salvation," and "Linger"), as well as a few lesser-known highlights such as "Free to Decide" and "Animal Instinct."
