Do you like them? Wonder what would be their 2nd biggest song. I think they're good, but not like the best 90s band or alternative rock band or whatever. They might be the most popular 90s alternative band..etc...though.

I always thought Iris was their biggest song, regardless of what sold the most. I could be wrong, though.

Iris is definitely their biggest song.

Black Balloon is their best, though.

Yeah I'd say Iris was bigger. But that's based entirely off my feeling, I don't care to look it up.

Black Balloon is their best hit, though.

Iris is bigger, if only due to its inclusion in City of Angels.

It's pretty indisputably Iris, though I think all the ballads from that album were inspired by the success of Name, which I think is maybe their strongest.

Iris is biggest hit.

My "deep cut" recommendations: Long Way Down, What a Scene, and Sympathy

I just if we go by Spotify streams it's Iris and it's not close at all 1.5 billion for Iris and the next closest is Slide at 273 million.

Both great songs though and Black Balloon is great as well

Iris is a classic karaoke song. I don't even know what Slide is tbh, without listening at least.

Goo goo dolls would easily be the most popular of the 90s alternative bands?

Iris is definitely their biggest single.

Black Balloon is great, but my favorite is Lazy Eye (say what you want about Batman & Robin, but the soundtrack had some bangers, like this one and The End is the Beginning is the End by Smashing Pumpkins.)

edit: got my beginnings and ends mixed up.

Haha I feel like that's like saying REO Speedwagon is the most popular of the 70s classic rock bands.

Of all the bands I remember hearing in the late 90's, they were definitely among the most played on adult contemporary radio (which didn't really play much stuff like Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins, especially in the later part of the decade), but so were Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day (only really two songs to be fair) and even Counting Crows, who all sold a good number more albums at their peaks.

Iris is for sure the biggest, and I think Name is probably also slightly bigger than Slide.

Never cared much for this group, but Iris has grown on me a bit over the years

Not today actually, but I did learn that last week when I listened to this podcast

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a7d22232.jpg

Rob Harvilla is awesome and I highly recommend 60 Songs That Explain the 90s to anyone who grew up with the music. The Semi Charmed Life episode is a perfect starting place
