No Doubt
No Doubt is an American rock band formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. For most of its career, the band has consisted of vocalist and founding member Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young. Keyboardist Eric Stefani, Gwen's brother, was also a member when the band started to release albums in 1992. Since the mid-1990s, trombonist Gabrial McNair and trumpeter Stephen Bradley have performed with the band as session and touring musicians. Though its 1992 eponymous debut album failed to make an impact, its ska punk-inspired follow-up '' The Beacon Street Collection'' sold over 100,000 copies in 1995, more than triple the sales of its predecessor. The band's third album '' Tragic Kingdom'' was released later the same year and benefited from the 1990s resurgence of third-wave ska, going on to achieve diamond certification. " Don't Speak", the third single from the album, set a record when it spent 16 weeks at the number one spot on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Love is a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment (psychology), attachment to a person, animal, or thing. It is expressed in many forms, encompassing a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, or the deepest Interpersonal relationship, interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food.
