Pretty standard and pretty much includes every release since 1998 along with the addition of 'Name'. I think a band like the Goo Goo Dolls should have opted for a Best Of compilation either since they have albums before their breakthrough and I'm sure they have good songs from those as well, even just including one from each of them.

EDIT: It seems a Volume 2 is on the way next year...?

Fox picks 'American Band' judges

Rzeznik to serve with Dickson, Sheila E.

Fox's new reality music competition series "The Next Great American Band" has selected its judges: John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, Prince protege and drummer extraordinaire Sheila E. and Aussie "Idol" judge Ian Dickson will serve on the panel.

"New Zealand Idol" star Dominic Bowden will host.

Much like its superstar sister show "American Idol," "Band" gives unsigned and undiscovered groups a chance to shine -- or humiliate themselves -- via a nationwide search. The battle-of-the-bands format will continue until a winner is chosen. Best band will receive a contract with 19 Recordings.

The series will premiere Oct. 19 on Fox and will air on Fridays at 8 p.m.

Rzeznik began his career in the music business two decades ago when the Goo Goo Dolls were first signed to Celluloid Records. The band later moved to WB, where the rockers achieved commercial success in the 1990s, selling 10 million discs and nabbing over a dozen top-10 hits.

In addition to her time with Prince, Sheila E. performed with Herbie Hancock, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross before scoring her own hits "The Glamorous Life" and "Love Bizarre."

Dickson got his start as an exec for Creation Records, where he elevated groups such as Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and Oasis. After a move to Sony, he became the press agent of acts such as LL Cool J and Midnight Oil.

"The Next Great American Band" is produced by 19 Entertainment and FremantleMedia North America, the same team behind "American Idol." Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe, Ken Warwick and Cecile Frot-Coutaz will exec produce.

Goo Goo Dolls Headed For The Future

October 29, 2007

by Gary Graff, Detroit

When he's not dispensing advice as a celebrity judge on Fox TV's "The Next Great American Band," the Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznik will be focusing on the band's past -- and its future.

"The Goo Goo Dolls Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 -- The Singles" comes out Nov. 13, featuring 14 chart entries since "Name" gave the band its first Hot 100 berth in 1995. The album includes chart-toppers such as "Iris" and "Slide" as well as "Before It's Too Late (Sam and Mikaela's Theme)" from the "Transformers" film soundtrack. A "Vol. 2" is slated for February with B-sides, rarities, remixes and some new tracks.

By that time, Rzeznik tells Billboard.com, the Goos should be back in their Buffalo, N.Y., studio working on the follow-up to 2006's "Let Love In."

"I'm going into the studio in Buffalo in January and gonna hang out there until the record's done, which will probably be, like, June," Rzeznik says. He has "maybe six or eight (song) ideas floating around in my head," as well as a concrete idea of how he wants the album to sound.

"I want the next record to have a little more of an edge on it," Rzeznik explains. "I don't want the rough edges taken off so much. The band's gonna play live on it more, not so many overdubs. When we were on tour we recorded every single show and we would listen back, and the difference between the band on record and the band live was ... I want it to sound more like we do live. It's a lot more energy. It's a more aggressive sound."


Rzeznik says he'd also like the Goos to work with "a tougher producer" this time around, listing Gil Norton, Tim Palmer and Rich Costey (The Kills) among those who could push the band.

"We've learned so much from so many great people," Rzeznik says, "working with Rob Cavallo and Glen Ballard, Jack Joseph Puig and all those guys. I just think sometimes the albums may be a little too polished. I don't want to give you the idea I'm about to make a metal record or something; I still want to have good songwriting on the record, but I want some more muscle this time, too."

The Goos have one more show scheduled for this year, on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

I'd get this but I only need #13 and #14.
I don't see this selling well.
Best of luck though.

Might be worth getting. I'll see if anyone has it on sale Black Friday.
