now no dount was big, they ain't dead, however it ain't like Fergie and B.E.P didn't steal some of that thunder either at a time and point.

if handled the right way musically Stefani should have had a Lady Gaga type of run don't you think?

or a Pink run.

she was big, however not long term big as she could have been does that make sense?

wjere come down on gwen stefani as a artist? overrated or underrated?

also no doubt?

Miami Heat, New York Yankees,buffalo bills

I know she did her solo thing but then didn't she get married & have kids? And didn't No Doubt go a real long time between albums?

and I don't know enough about Ska/pop-punk to compare and contrast No Doubt's body of work to similar bands

But two things I can say for sure are:

1. Tragic Kingdom is a super iconic/classic 90's albums and still holds up today...definitely millions of people around 23-33 years old still know the almost whole album by heart

2. I like just about every single ever released by ND or Stefani

Probably because she aint realize that while rock band fans aren't so fickle and will tolerate, to a certain extent, a mini hiatus...anything more then a year and a half in the pop world=you've been dead.

"F you Im better in tune with the Infinite"

or any of the other chicks that sorta cashed-in off her absence once she semi-walked away after 06/07.

Her band (which she was only a part-time player in to begin with before her brother killed himself) blew up back in the day.

She took the opening that Eve/Dre song gave her & launched a seven-times-platinum solo album based off other styles of music she'd grown up on in Long Beach, which birthed her a clothing line and even the scraps from that album was enough to cobble together another double-plat album and tour.

I think after that she just wanted to concentrate on having a couple kids, making money off her fashion line, generating some tour money for her old band & by her own admission she's not a very prolific writer unless in pain so she's been pretty quiet.

Overall though she did her thing, oddly enough trying to revive No Doubt might have been the thing that deaded her run of major commercial relevance but it was the right thing to try to do.

At this point with her being mid-40s I think she'd rather grow old doing summer-shed tours with the band & raise kids then keep trying to hang on with what's hot on the solo tip like Madonna hooking up with Timberland/Timberlake in S-&-M gear.

Eric Stefani left the band to become an animator on The Simpsons.

fuck you.

joints off the first one with the Akon lead single being one of the only new joints.

I actually never heard it in full once I discovered that.

On some "strike while the iron's hot" shit. I tried to go through it recently when I was creating a new playlist for my phone, and couldn't bring myself to add anything from this album.

She had a kid, then went back to No Doubt after those 2 solo albums.

fuck you.

She did blow all the way up? She is still visible worldwide as an icon.

I just think.. the "poppy pop shit for pop's sake" wasn't her... I mean she said as much when the new no doubt shit was dropping...

She did blow up. She just went away and lived that family life.

L.A.M.B (2004) sold over 4 MILLION records

Sweet Escape (2006) sold over 1.7 MILLION records to date



She's 2/2 as far as record sales are concerned...

plus 4 top 10 singles is the epitome of blowing up

she did it

...are people implying-or even saying-that No Doubt was ever a good band. *SMH* Bands like that were the very definition of corporate (buzzword!), "alternative" drivel, Fuck them, that's all...

Kinda feels bizarre to me. People here like No Doubt? I'm surprised.

And Maxxx? It surprises me that you don't levy the ole turkey routine on her. I mean, what exactly can she do? She can't sing, can't dance, can't write lyrics....I must be missing something.

other than becoming ultra popular, what about them was corporate to you?

and yes, tragic kingdom (plus various other songs from other albums) was excellent.

************************************************************

i heard they developed organically and just happened to make a few records that millions of ppl like after they were signed to a major label deal. as far as i know they have one of those old fashioned Rock N Roll success stories.

i understand some Rockists have a problem w/them b/c their most famous records sound like a bastardization of some previously underground(ish) genres and subgenres. but i haven't heard that they're a creation of any corporation.

fuck you.

Nah...they started out as a California college band...They were indeed an alternative act early on...

And yeah...they blew the fuck up...But No Doubt were far from some corporate band...They just became huge and over saturated the market, which is not exactly new within pop/rock music....

Tragic Kingdom and Return of Saturn were pretty damn good to me.
