They all kind of suck in my opinon, but the Goo Goo Dolls at least have Name and Iris, I wouldn't want to make listening to them an activity but in the background it's fine.
One time of n Starbucks, Dave Matthews mistook me for someone else and I didn't know who Dave Matthews was. I thought he was somebody I knew — and had simply blanked on - so I kept up the pretense and we chatted like old pals.
A little while after he left, the Baristas said "whoa holy shit you're actually friends with Dave Matthews!!"
I said, "I have no idea who you're talking about " and the head barista just does a big "suuuure" wink and jaw. Befuddled I went about my business.
to this day they think me and Dave Matthews are firm friends. I also discovered he lives close by in a fairly normal absolutely not ritzy little neighborhood.I since listened to a bunch of Dave Matthews Band music.
so, my pick is Goo Goo Dolls.

None of them are really bands I would go out of my way to listen to except for maybe a couple of BNL's records. So BNL it is.
On a side note that's a super US centric list, the only non-US band there is BNL.
The real answer is Silverchair. Or Powderfinger. Or The Living End. Or Lindberg.

I was going to choose Goo Goo Dolls because there are songs I like more from them but then I remembered there's the songs that Robby Takac sings and I can't stand his voice so I ended up choosing Matchbox 20.
I had to change my answer like seven times because I like all of these but I don't love any of them. Went with barenaked ladies but they're all good.
In general I agree as most of BNL's catalogue is well... bad - but Gordon and Born On A Pirate Ship are, imho, 2 of the better pop rock albums to come out in the 90's. Which isn't a massively high bar to be fair.
I knew I liked you for a reason!
This is a brilliant poll. Forcing people to choose their favorite from middle-of-the-road AOR bands, instead of letting them show off how supposedly sophisticated their musical palate is, like most of these threads devolve into.
From this list, I would take the Spin Doctors, mostly because it was this CD that was playing while I had the best game of Drunken Risk in my life. The Kamchatka Miracle was spoken of in awed voices for weeks afterward. All I remember is a song about Jimmy Olsen singing about having the hots for Lois Lane when I began my gambit and every dice roll went my way.
