For our Cage Match we will delve into alternative-rock big hitters of the 1990s and two of my favorites -- Candlebox and the Goo Goo Dolls.We all remember the '90s in rock history since it was huge with grunge and great rock alternative and heavy rock all mixed in. So, I thought we would grab two blasters from the alternative area.

First up today is Candlebox with five studio albums that all reached either multi-platinum or gold certifications. Their self-titled 1993 release was their big hitter with songs like "You" and "Far Behind" reaching top positions on the charts.

Candlebox: 'Far Behind'

Our next band is the Goo Goo Dolls, who came out of Buffalo and formed in 1986. Dizzy Up The Girl was a monster album with five successful chart toppers like "Black Balloon" and "Slide." These guys sold 3 million copies of this album, which went three times platinum.
