The Goo Goo Dolls, Buffalo, N.Y. natives, were dismissed early in their career as mere imitators of the Replace-ments. But they refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular alternative rock bands of the 1990s.

The ballad "Iris,'' written in 1998 for the soundtrack to the Nicolas Cage/Meg Ryan film "City of Angels,'' spent 18 weeks on Billboard's top airplay charts. It was nominated for three Grammys.
