== Origins and early music (1986–1993) ==

The band's original lineup included [[John Rzeznik|Johnny Rzeznik]] (guitar, vocals), [[Robby Takac]] (bass, vocals), and [[George Tutuska]] (drums, percussion). Takac and Tutuska had been long-time friends in school and met Rzeznik while he was playing in the band The Beaumonts with Takac's cousin, Paul Takac and close friend Michael Harvey who was the inspiration for the band.<ref>{{cite web |last=Morano |first=Scott |year=1996 |title=Goo Goo Dolls FAQ |publisher=Music Fan Clubs |work=musicfanclubs.org |url=http://www.musicfanclubs.org/googoodolls/misc/faq.htm#1 |accessdate=November 8, 2016}}</ref>  The trio picked their name from a ''[[True Detective (magazine)|True Detective]]'' ad for a toy called a Goo Goo Doll.<ref>''Rolling Stone'', November 1999.{{Unreliable source?|article|date=August 2007}}</ref> "We were young and we were a garage band not trying to get a deal. We had a gig that night and needed a name. It's the best we came up with, and for some reason it stuck. If I had five more minutes, I definitely would have picked a better name", John stated. With Takac as their lead singer, the band released their first album, ''[[Goo Goo Dolls (album)|Goo Goo Dolls]]'' in 1987 on Mercenary Records, but was picked up in 1988 by [[Celluloid Records]], a larger record company. They played around Buffalo's underground music circuit and across the country opening for punk bands such as [[Gang Green]], [[SNFU]], [[Dag Nasty]], [[Bad Religion]], [[Motorhead]], [[All (band)|ALL]], [[The Dead Milkmen]], Doughboys, [[Big Drill Car]], [[The Gun Club]], [[Uniform Choice]], [[The Dickies]], and [[Dirty Rotten Imbeciles|DRI]] and playing with fellow Buffalo bands. The band released its second album, ''[[Jed (album)|Jed]]'', in 1989.<ref>{{cite web |last=Taylor |first=B.

The band released its third album, ''[[Hold Me Up]]'', in 1990 and featured Rzeznik as the lead vocalist on five tracks, including the single, "There You Are"—as well as their then concert favorite, "Two Days in February". After being embraced by local [[college radio]] and punk scenes (including such venues as [[CBGB]]), the Goo Goo Dolls incorporated elements of [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[pop rock]], and [[punk rock]] into the album. In 1991, the song "I'm Awake Now" was recorded for the soundtrack of ''[[Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare]]''.{{cn|date=August 2020}}

''[[Superstar Car Wash]]'', released in 1993, received significant media attention.  The critical success and encouraging sales of their last album resulted in a larger budget from [[Metal Blade Records]].  The album was partially recorded at [[Metalworks Studios]] in [[Mississauga, Ontario]]. The single "We Are the Normal" received a major push toward play on college and independent radio, and its video was displayed on MTV's [[120 Minutes]] program. "Fallin' Down" made it onto the 1993 soundtrack of [[Pauly Shore]]'s hit film ''[[Son in Law]]''.{{cn|date=August 2020}}

== Mainstream success (1993–2010) ==
=== ''A Boy Named Goo'', legal issues, and Tutuska's departure (1993–1997) ===
{{Expand section|date=August 2020}} 
Shortly after recording the band's fifth album ''[[A Boy Named Goo]]'', Tutuska was fired from the band. He was replaced by [[Mike Malinin]], and the band toured rigorously.{{cn|date=August 2020}}

''A Boy Named Goo'', released in 1995, had a catchy rock sound, and became one of the most successful alternative rock albums of the mid-1990s. It sold modestly in this time; however, it was not until the release of the single "Name" that the band experienced any viable commercial success. ''A Boy Named Goo'' became the first album in [[Metal Blade Records|Metal Blade]] history to achieve double-platinum status. This success, however, proved bittersweet, as the band found themselves in a legal battle with Metal Blade records. The band filed suit against Metal Blade, claiming they had not earned any royalties from their album's sales, which was attributed to a "grossly unfair, one-sided and unenforceable contract" which had been signed by the band in 1987.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!--no by-line--> |date=December 2, 1996 |title=Goo Goo Dolls Want Label to Forget Their Name |publisher=Rolling Stone |work=rollingstone.com |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/googoodolls/articles/story/5927020/goo_goo_dolls_want_label_to_forget_their_name |accessdate=November 8, 2016 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012194335/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/googoodolls/articles/story/5927020/goo_goo_dolls_want_label_to_forget_their_name |archivedate=October 12, 2007}}</ref> The two sides reached a settlement which had the band signed to the Metal Blade's distributing label, [[Warner Bros. Records]], under which the band released their sixth album, ''[[Dizzy Up the Girl]]'', in 1998.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!--no by-line--> |date=April 12, 1997 |title=Goo Goo Dolls Lawsuit Coming to a Head |publisher=Rolling Stone |work=rollingstone.com |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/googoodolls/articles/story/5929327/goo_goo_dolls_lawsuit_coming_to_a_head |accessdate=November 8, 2016 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071002062226/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/googoodolls/articles/story/5929327/goo_goo_dolls_lawsuit_coming_to_a_head |archivedate=October 2, 2007}}</ref> The undisputed success of "Name" marked a fundamental change in the band's sound from alternative rock to a more mainstream, adult-oriented direction; this disappointed many of the original fans of the band. "Name" made the band popular, and led to guest appearances on ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'', ''[[Charmed]], ''and even presented an award to [[Michael Jackson]].{{cn|date=August 2020}}

=== ''Dizzy Up the Girl'' and ''Gutterflower'' (1997–2005) ===
{{Expand section|date=August 2020}} 
Rzeznik was approached to write a song for the ''[[City of Angels (soundtrack)|City of Angels]]'' soundtrack, and the end product was "[[Iris (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Iris]]".  This song continued the band's fame, as it stayed on top of ''Billboard'' [[Hot 100 Airplay]] charts for a record-breaking 18 weeks and spent 4 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs chart. Later that year, it was nominated for three Grammys. According to several interviews with Rzeznik, he was experiencing serious bouts of writer's block when he was approached, and was on the verge of quitting the band days before he wrote the song.<ref name="Interview with Johnny Rzeznik">{{cite web |last=Lovelady |first=Lyndsey |date=September 6, 2010 |title=Multi Platinum Man: An Interview With Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznik |publisher=[[American Songwriter]] |work=American Songwriter |url=https://www.americansongwriter.com/2010/09/multi-platinum-man-a-qa-with-goo-goo-dolls-johnny-rzeznik/ |accessdate=November 8, 2016}}</ref>

"Iris" was included on the triple-platinum ''[[Dizzy Up the Girl]]'', and was among top-ten hits "[[Slide (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Slide]]", "[[Black Balloon (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Black Balloon]]", "[[Broadway (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Broadway]]", and "[[Dizzy (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Dizzy]]" from the same album. In 2001, the Goos released their first ever compilation CD, ''[[What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce]]''. Next, ''[[Gutterflower]]'' (2002) achieved gold certification, producing the hits "[[Here Is Gone]]", "[[Sympathy (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Sympathy]]", and "[[Big Machine (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Big Machine]]". On July 4, 2004, the band performed a free concert in Buffalo, playing through a deluge of rain that can be seen on the DVD released later that year. The DVD also contained a studio version of the Goo Goo Dolls' cover of "[[Give a Little Bit]]" by [[Supertramp]]. The single reached the top of the [[Adult Top 40]] chart in 2005.{{cn|date=August 2020}} July 4, 2004 has been proclaimed "Goo Goo Dolls Day" in their native [[Buffalo, New York]].<ref name="Goo Goo Dolls Day Jul 4">{{cite web |last=Gomez |first=Luis |date=July 8, 2013 |title=Interview: Backstage party with Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik |publisher=Chicago Tribune |work=articles.chicagotribune.com/ |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-07-08/entertainment/chi-interview-goo-goo-dolls-20130708_1_goo-goo-dolls-john-rzeznik-good-hook |accessdate=November 8, 2016}}</ref>

=== ''Let Love In'' (2005–2007) ===
In 2006, the Goo Goo Dolls marked their 20th anniversary with their new album ''[[Let Love In (Goo Goo Dolls album)|Let Love In]]'', which included the studio recording of "[[Give a Little Bit]]" as well as other top 10 radio singles "[[Better Days (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Better Days]]", "Stay with You", and "Let Love In".  With their third consecutive single ("Let Love In") from the album, the Goo Goo Dolls hit a record 12 top 10 hits in [[Adult Top 40]] history, beating [[Matchbox Twenty]] and [[Sheryl Crow]] until Matchbox Twenty's release of ''[[Exile on Mainstream]]'' and the Goo Goo Dolls' release of "[[Before It's Too Late (Sam and Mikaela's Theme)|Before It's Too Late]]" from the Transformers Soundtrack, which left both groups with 13 top 10 hits in the Adult Top 40. Goo Goo Dolls planned to release another single from ''Let Love In'', "Without You Here", as well as a song from the July 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movie called "Before It's Too Late", originally titled "Fiction". To promote the new single, the Goo Goo Dolls performed "Before It's Too Late" at both ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' on June 8, 2007, and again at ''[[The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson]]'' on June 22, 2007.<ref>{{cite web |last=Naidenov |first=Eugeny |date=April 30, 2007 |title=Goo Goo Dolls Transforming Experience? |work=ultimate-guitar.com |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/goo_goo_dolls_transforming_experience.html |accessdate=November 8, 2016 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070706001112/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/goo_goo_dolls_transforming_experience.html |archivedate=July 6, 2007}}</ref>
