Little known fact...Goo Goo Dolls were originally signed to Metal Blade Records before ultimately signing with Warner Bros. in 1998.

They released several records under Metal Blade distribution, including the multi-platinum LP A Boy Named Good (although technically a Warner Bros. release). The company almost exclusively dealt with metal artists but decided to take a chance on a band that seemed much more marketable than some of their underground and commercially-antagonizing clients.

Another is that Paul Westerberg produced their early work. They were thought to be a replacements rip off.

Their first single was called "we are the normal" and it was great. Supposedly, they will not play it live.

I liked Long Way Down.

Mid/Late 90's were the last vestiges of decent mainstream pop-rock. Theres a few traces still out there but it's been killed by hip hop and high school girl pop.
