Here's a band that I thank God sold out and went from playing shitty punk garbage (Punk itself isn't shitty, their punk was) to making some of the best pop rock radio songs to grace the airwaves! Not much to say honestly! It's safe to say that love them or hate them all of you guys know them! So here's my favs:

Name
(My favorite! A great classic!)


Long Way Down
(great rocker)


Black Balloon
(Best off of Dizzy.... IMO)


Broadway


Let Love In


I'm Still Here

Re: "The Official" Goo Goo Dolls Thread

I've heard some of their stuff Soot, but I don't have any albums.

One thing...Goo Goo Dolls....seriously?? That has to be one of the worst names of any band I know, and to think they were once a punk outfit...:heheh:

I could come up with a better name after drinking 24 beers than that one.:grinthumb

Foo Fighters is in the same category as far as names go, but at least I know some of the story behind that one so it makes a little sense.:D

I didn't like their punk side, not in the least. But I do have this album:

Re: "The Official" Goo Goo Dolls Thread

I remember reading a few years back about Rzeznik having some serious bouts of writer's block. I don't know if he still struggles with it or not.

I think that was after their biggest release Dizzy Up The Girl but seeing as they have a lot of time between releases it seemingly could be an ongoing problem with him.

Re: "The Official" Goo Goo Dolls Thread

To give an example of how shitty their prior work was here's a laughable tune off of their debut self titled c.d. I actually own! :heheh:

I'm only familiar with Iris, one of the great tracks of the 90's but I'll definitely have to do some more research on them! :D

If you like Iris which I admit personally was overplayed it's a safe bet you could enjoys more Goo's! :grinthumb
