The Goo Goo Dolls were hardly an overnight sensation.
Having formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1986, the group spent years working on its craft and building a fan base before it finally broke through to the mainstream, in a big way, with 1995’s “A Boy Named Goo.”
That album was propelled to double-platinum heights in large part by “Name,” which topped both Billboard’s Mainstream Rock and Alternative Airplay charts and, at the time, seemed like it might be the bestselling single the band would ever produce.
