“I never care”

4   The Goo Goo Dolls started out as a punk band in 1986 before moving into the pop rock territory they came to cover. The band have eleven albums under them and are still going strong. Only One (1995) was the lead single from The Goo Goo Dolls fifth album A Boy Named Goo and saw the band at the height of their powers. Only One is a hard rocking roller-coaster ride that walked the line between radio-friendly and sharp, modern, punk rock perfectly.

I feel I’m well rehearsed”
