Years ago, Louder Sound writer Paul Rees went so far as to make the bold declaration that track No. 5 on the album was the "best," despite "Iris" topping the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay for 18 weeks.
"The signature song from 1988’s Dizzy Up The Girl album was, of course Iris — but it wasn’t its best," he wrote. "From the swooning strings that punctuate its chorus to the arty black and white video that accompanied it, Black Balloon served more compulsive notice that the Goo Goo Dolls had definitively stepped up from being ragged alt-rock contenders and into the major leagues."
On Facebook, fans have also debated whether "Iris" or "Black Balloon" is better from Dizzy Up the Girl.
Another wrote, "'Black Balloon' ??????," as a third pointed out, "Black Balloon...Iris was overplayed."
Others were firmly in the "Iris" camp, with one fan commenting, "'Iri's ? but they are both excellent."
In December, Rzeznik posted a video explaining the meaning behind "Black Balloon."
“It had this crescendo in the bridge, at the very end where this beautiful piano and this strings section all come together and they just create this thing and then it just drops out, the bottom just drops out of it,” the 60-year-old explained on Instagram. “To me, that was very symbolic about what the song was about in the first place.”
