History YMMV / NoDoubt

* SignatureSong: "Don't Speak" for No Doubt, "Hollaback Girl" for Gwen's solo career.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Gwen and [[Music/{{Garbage}} Shirley Manson]].

* SmurfetteBreakout: Music/GwenStefani. There's a reason why she has her own page. The video for "Don't Speak" might as well have been a [[LampshadeHanging three-minute shot of a lamp shade]].

* EnsembleDarkHorse: John Spence, the original vocalist. He was considered very energetic and wild onstage, but a few days before their first big performance, John [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]]. The band later on learned from his suicide note that [[ShrinkingViolet he was nervous about the pressures of being on stage, leading to his suicide]]. Despite little to no recording exists of John's time in the band, many consider him a huge influence on the band.

* FaceOfTheBand[=/=]SmurfetteBreakout: Music/GwenStefani. There's a reason why she has her own page. The video for "Don't Speak" might as well have been a [[LampshadeHanging three-minute shot of a lamp shade]].

** As far as the music goes, the title track of ''Tragic Kingdom'' reads as a They Changed It, Now It Sucks ''song'': "[[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] sucks now because Creator/WaltDisney died and prices went up with inflation, and [[FanHater people who still like it are deluded sheep]]" seems to be the message here.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Gwen in "A Simple Kind of Life" when she says "You seem like you'd be a good dad"

** Don't Speak itself is a huge tear jerker. The pain is so evident in Gwen's voice, it's almost hard to listen too, god forbid you see her sing it live during the Tragic Kingdom tour, it may start the water works before she even sings.

** The demo song 'Dear John', speaking about their first vocalist, John Spence, and his suicide.

** 'Cool' can be this. It's a bittersweet song about seeing someone you used to be in love with and realising you've moved on and are now both happy with other people, but it's sung in such a wistful way that it can definitely raise a few sniffles for the one who got away.

* ToughActToFollow: Topping ''Tragic Kingdom'' was pretty much impossible until they developed their sound beyond the third wave ska that made them famous.

* FanonDiscontinuity: ''Return of Saturn'' and ''Rock Steady''.

* FaceOfTheBand[=/=]SmurfetteBreakout: Gwen Stefani. There's a reason her page redirects here. The video for "Don't Speak" might as well have been a [[LampshadeHanging three-minute shot of a lamp shade]].

* EarWorm: Frequently. Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" being the worst offender.
