Formed during an era of early boy band culture, rap and hip hop, this band had a lot to prove. However, Robby Takac, bassist, and John Rzeznik, lead singer and guitarist, proved that there was more to the 1980s than break-dancing and leg warmers. The Goo Goo Dolls’ alternative rock music made its breakthrough in 1995 after its first hit “Name” came out, and its album, “A Boy Named Goo”, sold over two million copies. And they were off.
