Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist
John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are most famous for the hit "
Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of
The Replacements; however, the band refined its sound to be more mainstream...
