Name and Long Way Down when the Goos performed on Beverly Hills 90210 in 1995. Name just blew me away. I've been hooked since then. :P

I woke up at about 4am and I couldn't fall back to sleep. I put on the tv and found a show that was playing music videos (which was rare for me because I grew up in the country so no cable) and Name came on.

I loved it right away. I sat up and said to myself, "This is going to be my favourite song, ever. I can feel it." Unfortunately they didn't say who it was by so I was left wondering for weeks afterwards!

I finally caught it on the radio and they said the band, and I went and got the CD the very next day.

That was when ABNG first came out.

Oh wow...I still remember that feeling...it was as though THIS was the band I had been looking for all along but I never knew it until that moment... :D

First Goo song I ever heard was 'Dizzy'. I was at a �friend's house when a close friend said to me "Lea, I've gotta introduce you to this great band..give 'em a listen..." and put Dizzy up the Girl on the CD player.

A light went on inside my head. Damn this sounds good.

"Ok, who the hell are this band and why am I only just hearing about them?"
"The Goo Goo Dolls."
"The...what?"

It was love at first listen. �:love:

That was something like 5 years ago now. I never did thank my friend properly.

ETA: *points* I'm addicted. LMAO. I post too much!   :-[ :P

I heard the premiere of "Iris" on Kiss 98.5 and fell in love with it. (I was doing homework at my desk and it was unseasonably warm out.  Why do I remember that?)

Of course, I'm sure I had heard at least "Name" before that.  But Iris was the first song I consciously loved.

hmmm.... as corny as this may sound, I was about 9 or 10 (I am 24 now).  I heard don't beat my a$$, and my foster brother had recorded it for me on a tape.  I loved it!!!  Had no idea who it was, but that was the first song
I heard.  Several years later I ran across hold me up, and since then have liked them, then abng came out, and I have been obsessed since.
Wonder if I still have that tape with don't beat my a$$ still.  I think it also had new kids on the block and mc hammer, and pm dawn as well.  (how embarrasing!!)

well i suppose iris in 98? 99? whenever it came out. I heard it on the radio all the time and i didn't like it. I was about 10. I also remember broadway but it wasn't really my thing.

Then last year my friend was playing abng and i heard slave girl and i loved it!!!!!! that song seemed really funny at the time.

"Name" back in '95 and it was on 'Rick Dee's & The Weekly Top 40'!!!   Amazingly enough that show was syndicated on Australian radio every Sunday afternoon, and I used to tune in all the time.

Fell in love with that song and it will remain my favourite song forever!   ;D

Just like practicly everyone else, IRIS. My twin bought it when it came out (1998 or something) and played it over and over and over, but I only ever heard it through the door in her room, so I didn't hear it properly. Course about a week after she got it the song was everywhere, as was John.
The obsession begins..............................

I heard "Slide" on the radio in early summer of '99 and LOVED it - but couldnt find out the band who sang it for AGES! But when I finally caught their name, it stuck with me. :P (I think I probably did hear "Iris" before that, but oddly, it didn't stick with me so much....)

Iris.  I saw the video on MTV when it came out.  Funny thing was, I loved the song and the video (and that lead singer is pretty cute too, huh?), but didn't get hooked on Goo until MUCH later.

Name 1995 I saw the video, propabally on VH1. I've never been that into MTV. There are certain lines in that song that can still make me cry.
