You have entered the House of Goo. It has lists of their discography, videos, and stuff like that (not including remastered stuff...I found it silly to put that on here). Feel free to email me with any related information. Don't be afraid to make suggestions, I'm very friendly! Thanks!
Goography discography;
Goo Goo Dolls...released in 1986. It has 14 songs and was released on Celluloid/Mercenary Records and was red on the cover with live pictures of the Goos in the background and "Goo Goo Dolls" written in white letters. The back has pictures of the guys. The CD itself is green. Only a limited amount of these were made since Celluloid went bankrupt not long after the release, which makes it very rare. It cost me $100....that's how hard it is to get! So if you find it...don't pass it by!
Goo Goo Dolls-First Release...released in 1987. It has 14 songs and is white with "Goo Goo Dolls" in colorful letters. There's also a yellow circle in the middle with the words "First Release" imprinted on it. Metal Blade Records....out of print.
Jed...released in 1989. It has 14 songs and has a picture of a guy drinking and driving on the cover. Death/Metal Blade Records. Marketed by Enigma Records.
Hold Me Up...released in 1990. It has 14 songs and is white with colorful dots. Inside is a picture of the Goos and the Incredible Lance Diamond...and Robby's poem. Metal Blade. (There's a rare, later Hold Me Up release...still in 1990, that is exactly the same except that there is a blue and white picture of the Goos with their backs turned on the actual CD and the way the writing looks is a bit different....and it was re-released with Warner Bros.)
Superstar Car Wash...released in February, 1993. Has 14 songs and a black & white picture of the Car Wash near Buffalo on the cover. Metal Blade and Warner Bros.
A Boy Named Goo...released in March, 1995. Has 13 songs and a picture of a baby in thorn bushes with raspberry juice on him (though I really think it was originally blood, because there are no raspberries in the thorn bushes and it seems perfectly logical that the baby was cut by the thorns.) Metal Blade and Warner Bros. (The older copies of this album had a picture of a guy with a tattoo across his chest and the CD was green and silver instead of pink and silver. And there was originally a song written by George Tutuska called "Stand Alone", which Robby sings. It was taken off the album when George was fired and replaced by two cover songs, "Disconnected" and "Slave Girl." But this was never publicly released....only promotionally.)
Dizzy Up The Girl...released September 22, 1998. Has 13 songs and a picture of a dizzied-up girl lying on a bed. Warner Bros.
What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art, and Commerce...released July 17, 2001. Has 22 songs, all of which were re-mixed, with some things added to the mix, in the studio to create a "non-hits" album....sort of. Warner Bros.
GutterFlower...released April 9, 2002 in America and April 8, 2002 in Europe. Has 13 songs and a girl in a black and red background holding a rose. The rose is boxed by a white square. Warner Bros.
