I just heard a half album of No Doubt at the student cafeteria today and i really remember how good the band it was spessialy the album Tragic Kingdom, lots of good ska, funk, punk, sexy and groovy music, with the hotest singer of the 90s in lead vocals, (who was hypnotized by Gwens lips at the Don't Speak video), the band itself is really good musicians i think, a realy tigh unit with a very tight and kicking pocket, the basslines is really good and they sound really crisp and spunky, this is my favourite song by them -------------

They always reminded me of bands like Mano Negra and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs who both play with similar ska ad punkand latin influences. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

it also remeinds me of a cross between the Police, RHCP, EWF and Supertramp (they even borrowed from Supertramp on one song)

I think it's great as is the whole album. They had a whole funky, aerobic side that most of the typical alt rock guitar bands of the era didn't, it set them apart. The musicianship was top notch. Can't understand why people didn't like them, unless of course you just hate Stefani's voice/style, in which case there isn't much the band can do. And I disagree with the notion that Tragic is their only good album. Saturn was great too, as are some of their early tracks from the ska-punk-pop era available on a compilation CD. If you can find their live Tragic Kingdom DVD/vhs, grab it. It kills. ------------- |

I first heard No Doubt on the radio when Don't Speak was released, and the sound impressed me immediately - clean, controlled guitar, loping bass, and that voice! moving between little-girl wistfulness and sobbing passion. Matthew Wilder pulled magic out of them on that one. I haven't enjoyed anything else I've heard from either the band or Stefani. |

Me and my friends played Tragic Kingdom to death when we were teenagers. I still think it's a pretty good record.

I dug a lot of the indie-pop back then....No Doubt, Rage Against the Machine, Butthole Surfers, Green Day, and Alanis Morrisette all come to mind. It wasn't serious music & wasn't meant to be, but there were some mean hooks in many of those tunes! As a semi-pro musician, I can appreciate all sorts of composition - funk, disco, power pop, punk all had something going for them, or else they wouldn't have been so popular. |

| I saw them in 1995 in a club just when they were starting to really take off popularity-wise. They did a pretty kickin' version of "Obladi Oblada", and Gwen was jumping all over the place throughout the entire show. She had a ton of energy. |

It all blurs together in my mind...I was shuttling back & forth between the USA and the UK, who were totally into the band Oasis during that time period! Bloody awful band, that! I DID see the "riot grrrl" band Bis at the Cavern Club in Exeter, Devon UK about 1990, they were excellent! This was before their first CD came out, they went on to be HUGE in Japan!! "We're Bis, and we're from Scot-land!" The bands I mentioned seemed to dominate the airwaves, there was no shortage of toe-tapping music! Was it brilliant instrumental prog? No, but I liked much of it. Now, we have Justin "I wanna be black!" Bieber and Lady "Ow, I hurt myself and have to cancel my tour!" Gaga!
