Shipped today to rock, adult, and CHR says Billboard. I haven't heard from them since Black Balloon I don't think, or at least none of their charting singles since then looks familiar.

You really haven't heard them since Black Balloon? They get airplay all the time on adult contemporary. How could you not have heard anything since Black Balloon?

Broadway and Here Is Gone are the only two listed on Nielsen since Black Balloon. I don't recognize either by title.

The Goos are one of my favorite all-time bands and I'm stoked for new stuff from them. I think their days for the most part on Alternative are hanging on by a thread, but they should still do extremely well on the AC formats.

The Goo Goo Dolls are ok but they pretty much defined the blandest era of modern rock radio. They're actually coming to Pasco next Sunday but LCD Soundsystem is playing a few hours north at Sasquatch and I'm sure as hell not passing that chance up.

"Blandest" my ass. No genre of rock deserves more of a comeback than pop rock and everyone here knows it.

Nice song indeed from one of my fave bands. Its not as pop friendly as I would of thought.
I've heard other stuff from the new album (live videos on youtube) and they've sounded stronger but not gonna complain.

Yeah, sorry for the puke gif. There has always been something about goo goo dolls that rubbed me the wrong way. I"m breaking my own rule of not posting in threads of artists I don't care for- I know I don't like it when I see it in the artists' boards that I frequent.
My apologies.

Broadway and Here Is Gone are the only two listed on Nielsen since Black Balloon. I don't recognize either by title. My new goal is to have Nielsen go bust and die and then Artie wouldn't have anyone TELL him what music he should listen to. Then, finally, my whiplash would get better from all the shaking of my head that I have to do when I read the inane ramblings of supposed music fan. It's quite obvious that rock won't get too close to this stuff judging from what's happened over the last couple of years with similar type bands. I'm with you Pen, waiting for the revival of the pop rock melody to enjoy staple airplay again. It's time will come but it may take a "new band" breaking the sound again to get it back into the mainstream consciousness. It kind of amazes me to a certain degree that the pop rock sound has faded so far to the background to the point that it's almost news when you hear much of it on CHR, let alone rock radio.

I've been feeling this sentiment for months now. Rock isn't dead. It's on exile. The American people put it there after the Nickelback sore throat cigarette-burn s**tshow. I hate how I turn on the radio and it's a non-stop dance party. Hell, yesterday, the Top 40 station in my area played a dance remix of "Breakeven" by The Script. Doesn't "falling to pieces" and the thought of broken hearts make you want to dance? It's s**t. All of it. And the worst part is, I'm 19 years old. My generation loves that crap.

I saw them 3 days ago actually. They played this plus like 4 other new songs. It was kinda eh, but of all this was the most memorable.

Just wait...the pendulum will swing back the other way soon enough. People will want some music with some substance sooner or later. We're about due for a new rock revolution, we just need a band to do it. We need something like Nirvana to happen. At the time (I am old, was in high school then lol) it seemed almost like Nirvana single handedly pushed aside all glam rock (Guns N Roses et al) and headed rock in a whole new direction. We need that again, to make people pay attention.

I love this new song and after hearing it, I believe it could be their first single to hit the top half of the Alternative chart since I believe "Here Is Gone" I respect everyone's musical preferences, but the Goo Goo Dolls have been around since almost as long as I have and have never let me down since. There's not many bands I respect more in music today than them.

^This manufactured, synthy, dance, downbeat, trash-can beatfest. The club has taken over the airwaves. Now, acts are simply taking old 80s songs and using the choruses (Right Round, Young Forever). Maybe I don't want to dance when in my car.
Almost every song on Top 40 radio is about sex, making it big, or having made it big. There is more to life. And our music should reflect that.

Yeah, even if you don't like Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty and their ilk, at least they had actual emotions on their sleeve and wrote about real things in their life rather than the plastic dreck that's being tossed around today.

I don't disagree, but the original post was claiming that GGD defines the blandest era in rock radio, so I assume the question being asked is, if that's not true, what was the blandest era in rock radio? (I think it's the one when Alternative basically looked like Active-lite, but that's just my personal preference. I don't have objective backing for that.)

Nickelback, Daughtry,Shinedown, Bon Jovi and Paramore have their fair share of meaningful music, so I think saying there a lack of heart in todays music is wrong.

Amen. When I saw them a few days ago and they played Iris, it almost brought my girlfriend to tears because of how powerful it was, having grown up with that song and the powerful meaning behind it and the effect it had on her at that point in her life. I thought it was really beautiful seeing such an impact on a person. They're one of those bands that really reaches their fans. It's really rare to find that nowadays. Everything now is manufactured garbage.

I didn't say I was talking about those bands although Nickelback is already treading those waters. And I think it's funny how you threw Paramore in the middle of four other hard rock acts. It's like a "what doesn't belong" game.
