Эта американская команда, исповедующая так называемый "мэйнстрим", была создана в 1986 году в Буффало, где она начала свой старт с выступлений в местных клубах. В ее состав вошли Джонни Рзезник (вокал, гитара), Робби Такак (вокал, бас) и Джордж Тутуска (ударные). Свой первый диск "Goo goo dolls" выпустили в 1987 году. Затем в 1988-м последовал второй релиз, "Jed", замеченный критиками и получивший хорошие отзывы. Эта пластинка была выпущена лос-анжелесским инди-лейблом "Metal blade". Спустя некоторое время популярность группы значительно выросла, что привлекло к ней внимание крупных записывающих фирм. Поэтому следующий диск, "Hold me up", был издан на "Warner bros". После его выхода группа два года беспрерывно колесила по Штатам, зарабатывая себе славу концертного коллектива.
Следующий альбом, "Superstar car wash", хоть и был классно сработан, но продавался не очень хорошо. Тем не менее музыканты не стали вешать нос, а продолжали упорно работать, приступив к записи нового материала.
В 1995 году "Goo goo dolls" совершили прорыв, выпустив отличнейшую пластинку "A boy named Goo". Сопутствующий сингл, "Name", оказался на верхней сточке хит-парадов. К тому времени Тутуска свалил из группы, а на его месте оказался Майк Малинин. Команда записала кучу саундтреков, в том числе к таким фильмам как "Эйс Вентура 2", "Томми Бой" и "Бэтмэн и Робин". После этого "Goo goo dolls" сделали трехлетнюю паузу, и многие уже начали сомневаться, что они когда-нибудь смогут повторить свой успех. Однако их песня "Iris", прозвучавшая в саундтреке к фильму "City of angels" развеяла эти опасения. Эта композиция оказалась еще круче, чем "Name". Почти год эта вещица находилась на верхушке различных чартов и стала победительницей конкурса "Most Played Song" в 1998 году, а также получила премию BMI вноминации "Most Played Song From A Film".
Группазанялапервоеместовчартах "Airplay", "Modern Rock", "Modern Adult", "Adult Top 40" и "Top 40 Track". "Iris" была также представлена в трех номинациях "Grammy": "Запись года", "Песня года" и "Лучший поп-проект исполнителя или группы".
Клип на эту песню долгое время крутился на MTV. "Slide", следующая за "Iris", также достигла вершин тех же чартов, а также увеличила рост репутации "Goo Goo Dolls", как создателей новой и доступной музыки с необычно широким кругом слушателей.. В 1998 году наконец-то появился на прилавках магазинов долгожданный очередной лонгплей группы, "Dizzy up the girl". Этот диск сопровождался уже тремя хитовыми синглами – "Slide", "Broadway" и "Black ballon". Альбом, принесший рекордные сборы и ставший мультиплатиновым, был поддержан практически безостановочным мировым туром, обеспечившим "куклам" международное признание и множество поклонников в Европе, Азии и Австралии. Регулярные, насыщенные энергией концерты "Goo Goo Dolls" в Америке, собиравшие до 20000 зрителей, сделали группу одним из самых популярных музыкальных явлений в этой стране.
Казалось бы "Goo goo dolls" находились на волне успеха, однако прошло целых четыре года до выхода новой студийной работы, "Gutterflower".
