OC Weekly has posted their list of the top Orange Country bands of all time. No Doubt came in at number 2.Â
“You either love the fact that No Doubt is on this list or you absolutely hate it–a good sign that no matter what they’ve earned their place here. You’d be hard pressed to find someone in OC who doesn’t have an opinion about Anaheim’s quirky, ska-nerds-turned-pop-royalty. We at the Weekly most certainly been torn over the legacy of ageless bombshell vocalist Gwen Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young. We’ve lauded their success, lamented over the extinction of their brass section and scratched our heads at their stylistic left turns in the studio that paid off with great commercial success.And even though 1995’s The Beacon Street Collection and 2012’s Push and Shove sound worlds apart, the amount of influence they’ve on the pop culture landscape in between those albums is incalculable. The radio success of their landmark album Tragic Kingdom continues to define the explosive strength of our local music scene and is indelibly tied to it, even after the band became rock darlings on a global scale.”

I think Beacon Street and Push and Shove are rather alike actually…
