Goo Goo Dolls
The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1986, known for their blend of alternative rock, post-grunge, and pop sensibilities. Initially starting as a punk band, the Goo Goo Dolls achieved mainstream success in the late 1990s with the release of their hit single Iris from the City of Angels soundtrack. The song, with its emotional lyrics and powerful melody, became one of the most successful rock ballads of the decade and is still widely recognized today.
Throughout their career, the band has continued to release albums that blend introspective lyrics with accessible, radio-friendly rock music. Hits like Slide and Black Balloon helped solidify their place in the late 1990s and early 2000s rock scene. Despite shifts in the music industry, the Goo Goo Dolls have maintained a loyal fan base and continue to tour and record new music, remaining a lasting presence in the rock world.
