History Music / NoDoubt

* OlderThanTheyLook: Gwen is in her ''late forties''. If you saw her and thought she was in her 30s, or even as young as her ''20s'', nobody would blame you.

* {{Pixellation}}: Gwen's butt in the video for "Hella Good."

* IconicOutfit: Gwen's platinum blonde swirl, red lips, and boy tank top. Her UnlimitedWardrobe would show up more prominently in her solo career.

No Doubt is an American Third Wave {{Ska}} and NewWaveMusic-influenced AlternativeRock band founded in 1986. Yep, ''that'' long. The band consisted of [[FaceOfTheBand Gwen Stefani (vocals)]], Tom Dumont (guitar), Adrian Young (drums) and [[LeadBassist Tony Kanal (bass)]]. While their first two albums didn't sell well, ''Tragic Kingdom'' revived ska for TheNineties. The band has won two Grammys and has sold albums worldwide.

* MySisterIsOffLimits: This is a RealLife example. Gwen Stefani's brother Eric started the band, and she kept her relationship with Tony secret from him.

* IconicOutfit: Gwen's platinum blonde swirl, red lips, and boy tank top.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Gwen is in her ''late forties'' (48, to be exact). If you saw her and thought she was in her 30s, or even as young as her ''20s'', nobody would blame you.

** the "Ex Girlfriend" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yqru5UXWGY music video]] is inspired by ''Anime/{{Kite}}'' starting at 2:12.

** Listen carefully to the random horn soloing at the end of "Tragic Kingdom". One of them riffs on the ''StarWars'' theme.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Gwen is in her ''late forties'' (47, to be exact). If you saw her and thought she was in her 30s, or even as young as her ''20s'', nobody would blame you.

* BreakupSong: "Don't Speak", "Ex-Girlfriend".

* AbbeyRoadCrossing: ''Push and Shove'' has a cover which looks like that of ''[[Music/TheBeatles Let it Be]]''.

* BandOfRelatives: Gwen and Eric Stefani are brother and sister; Eric would take his leave of the band after ''Tragic Kingdom''.

* TheCoverChangesTheGender: "It's My Life," originally by Music/TalkTalk.

* MaleBandFemaleSinger: Gwen it's not just the one who sings, also [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only woman in the band]]. PlayedWith in "Don't Speak" videoclip, an UrExample.

* MySisterIsOffLimits: This is a RealLife example. Gwen Stefani's brother Eric started the band, and she kept Tony and her relationship secret from him.

** Their new song "Settle Down" featurings a scene in the beginning in which Tony Kanal grabs an orange and savors it. This calls back to the video for "Don't Speak", which starts with him pulling a rotten orange from a tree and ends with him putting it back.

* ShoutOut: "Hella Good" showed people playing [[JetSetRadio Jet Set Radio Future]].

* ReclusiveArtist: One of Tom Dumont's explanations for why Eric Stefani left the band:
-->Eric, our keyboard player, used to write most of our songs. He was the main creative force in the band for many years. And at a certain point after that first album came out, he had this personal thing, like he didn't like touring, he didn't like all that stuff. He just liked to sit down and write songs. That's him. He's the artistic side, the total Mr. Creative.

* ThePeteBest: Anyone other than the four, most notably Eric Stefani (their former keyboard player and primary songwriter) and most tragically John Spence (their original frontman, who committed suicide). Gwen Stefani is, in fact, the last original member left.
** Eric was suffering from depression and had begun to disengage himself from the band as early as September 1994, and while he sat through the ''Tragic Kingdom'' sessions, he left the band after they finished recording the album. Despite this, Gwen insisted that Eric be included in the album's cover. He's the one in the far distance, looking away from the camera.
