The 2006 self-titled effort from Five Star Iris is a fairly solid affair, with more than a few radio-friendly tracks that should have seen the light of day. For example, check out "Follow You Down."

"Follow You Down" by Five Star Iris
Five Star Iris is a rock band based out of Atlanta, Georgia, not far from fellow Georgians, Collective Soul. Their connection extends beyond just coming from the same state, as lead singer and songwriter for Collective Soul (Ed Roland) co-wrote some of the songs on the debut album by Five Star Iris. The bands also toured together.

"Compliment" by Collective Soul
Collective Soul struck gold in 1994 with their breakthrough hit, "Shine", which reached #11. As one of the first post-grunge bands out of the gate, the band made melody and harmony cool again. They avoided the sophomore jinx by scoring more hits with "Gel" (#49), "December" (#20), and "The World I Know" (#19).
For reasons I'm not sure I'll ever understand, the band has continued to make great albums, yet hasn't seen the top 40 singles chart since 1996. I'm not sure why Collective Soul doesn't get the same kind of attention that similar rock bands from the 90s get, like Foo Fighters. Collective Soul is still going strong though - this year they released their ninth studio album, "See What You Started By Continuing", which made it to #25 on the Billboard Top 200.
"Compliment" is one of my favorites from their 1999 effort, "Dosage". Enjoy this live version of the song, which features a full orchestra. You can find this version on the band's live CD, "Home".
