Goo Goo Dolls CD

After a while of simply listening to tracks of the Goo Goo Dolls that i have downloaded, I now want to buy an album, but am torn between 'Dizzy up the girl' and 'A boy named Goo'. Or even 'Gutterflower' .

Anyone who has or has heard all of these CDs, in you opinion which one is the best?

yea this is gonna be a long thread.

i'm gonna say dizzy up the girl... but the other two are just as good.

Dizzy up the Girl is the best album of GooGooDolls

And it will be the cheapest I think cause it?s from 1998.... ;-)

Keep it up !

Well, I'm a big GGD fan, and I recomend to you to listen to them carefully, cause each one is different.

For example, "Dizzy" is more like pop/rock sound with clean sound and good lyrics, and I would recomend it as a start for a new GGd listener.

In the oyher hand, "Gutterflower" still has that "dizzy" sound but is darker and more introspective than any of their albums. Is a very very good result of the post-grunge sound with the alternative way and a good mix of acoustic and electric guitars with reflexive lyrics (my favorite)

"Boy" is like the step before they went into the mainstream, so is a good combination of the alternative-post- grunge underground with some of the sound they have nowadays. Good lyrics, it approaches more to some kinda Nirvana than the others.

Hope this help

So far Im going with 'Dizzy up the girl'

i think dizzy up the girl the best

For your first Goo cd, go with Dizzy up the Girl.....then the other two.....really all their stuff is amazing. But to get hooked go with Dizzy.

must agree with everyone else pretty much, go for Dizzy up the Girl if you're new. GGD are great, you can't really go wrong w/ any of the albums.



Rock on...

All in all you can?t do anything wrong buying a GooGooDolls CD. I think everything of them is great stuff.

My favourite one will always be the Dizzy up the Girl LP.

So long

They're all great which ever one you end up getting will be awesome
Speaking of Goo Goo Dolls CD's anyone have their first? The Self-titled from 86?

OK, definitly going with Dizzy up the girl then.

without hearing any of them..

download two of them---buy one...as not to feel guilty

I've been a fan of the Goo Goo Dolls since the beginning, so I'll list all of their albums in my order of preference.

*Note: If you want a taste of EVERYTHING the Goo Goo Dolls have done, and don't want to make a decision, I HIGHLY reccommend "What I learned about Ego, Opionion, Art and Commerce". Its a LONG title that represents a LONG history of diverse music. Its got a few songs off of each album they've ever done (Gutterflower excluded) Check it out!*

1. Dizzy Up The Girl
2. Gutterflower
3. Superstar Carwash
4. Boy Named Goo
5. Hold Me Up
6. First Release
7. Jed



"Breathing out and breathing in is harder than its ever been for me..."

Yeah, Dizzy up the Girl, all the way.

YOU"VE BEEN A FAN SINCE THAT BEGINNING?! DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE SELF TITLED?!?! I've been searching for it for soooooo long. Kinda hard to find it since they stopped making it..but still.



"I'm not made of steel, but your secrets safe with me." Our Lady Peace

dizzy - definately dizzy

wow, i love "what i've learned about ego, opinion, art & commerce" that is an AMAZING cd. must encourage all of you without it to go find it. I personally love it, great ggd right there.

GGDolpNDts, my friend mentioned having it. i'll ask him.

Yes, I do have their first album. I actually have the re-release of it on CD (called First Release) as well as the original 12'' vinyl of the album. I found the vinyl on ebay, but I found the CD, as well as all their old albums, in the used section of a music store called Media Play fairly easily (Although I'm from Buffalo, so perhaps things like that show up more often)

Keep checking ebay if you actually want to own a copy, although im sure you can find the tracks online if you just want to hear it (if you've never heard their older stuff, prepared to be shocked and offended...its quite different)

IM me sometime if you want more info:

"Breathing out and breathing in is harder than its ever been for me..."

I know its different, I've heard some songs from it

The Goo Goo Dolls are one of the best bands ever!!!!

Their first two albums suck, though.

They don't suck...they're just different. I personally find them hilarious....
