No Doubt or Gwen Stefani solo?

I guess I have to admit that No Doubt is one of my absolute favorite bands, and man, it really bums me out that they split up. Now that Gwen Stefani has gone solo, I feel like her music just hasn't hit quite the same way as before... but hey, maybe I'm wrong! What do you guys think?
Do you think there's any hope for a No Doubt reunion?

They're alright as a band, nothing crazy.
But as a solo artist? She's totally killing it!

Yeah, I don't know, I think they were just better when they were still a group. The music felt more interesting back then... now it feels like they sort of "sold out"... went way too commercial... I mean, she’s still got some decent stuff out there, but that's just my two cents, I guess!

Honestly, I’d take No Doubt over Gwen Stefani any day—not that she isn't great, but the band? Total legends. Why? Because their discography is stacked... I mean, Sunday Morning, Running, Simple Kind of Life, Underneath It All, Don't Speak... I can't even list them all without getting tired. Plus, Gwen Stefani is killer, especially after catching that Rock Steady Live set. And man, that drummer? Absolute beast—everyone in that band is just completely unhinged in the best way possible.

No Doubt, definitely. I worship that band 🙏 her, solo stuff is just meh...

No Doubt 🙂
Honestly, if I had to pick just one, their debut album would always be my absolute favorite... there's just something about that early sound that hits different... Tragic Kingdom.

...man, she sure did spin her wheels for a while... Don't Speak...

As for Gwen Stefani going solo... I don't really know how to feel about it... I tend to view her more as this fascinating phenomenon rather than just another artist hitting the scene...
It’s almost like she’s some sort of legendary female icon or something...
It always looks absolutely stunning...😍
...plus her little band of Hajaruka girls...

I really love this whole concept, and honestly, that music video is just such a vibe... What You Waiting For?It’s basically just a parody of Alice in Wonderland...
I’m just left feeling completely hollowed out... nothing to show for it at all...

I’ve always felt their first album was easily their best... Tragic Kingdom.

...man, she really did spin through it all... Don't Speak...

Gwen Stefani going solo... I don't know... I mostly just see her as this interesting phenomenon...
It’s like she’s some sort of singer or something...
Always looks good...😍
...plus her whole crew of Hajaruka girls.

I actually quite like this—both the track and the music video... What You Waiting For?It’s basically just a parody of Alice in Wonderland...
I felt pretty useless...

I always just assumed it was a nod to Alice in Wonderland...

I really wish they would put out a new album; honestly, I think there’s a legitimate chance they might actually do it.

hmm... I heard rumors they might be working on a new album, but since Gwen Stefani is pregnant, they'll probably take a breather for a bit. Still, that new record is bound to happen eventually, I guess!

Gwen Stefani has always been stunning. Even if her solo career is a total mess, her work with No Doubt is still tolerable. 🙂

Honestly, she could probably use a little more curves—maybe some larger breasts would really pull her whole look together, don't you think?

Don't Speak is such a classic track—honestly, one of those songs that just hits different every single time you hear it, isn't it?

Personally, I always felt No Doubt was better than just Gwen Stefani on her own. They had this edge, this quirkiness that just worked—even if I wasn't exactly a die-hard listener. I’d love to see them reunite one more time.

I’ve never been much of a listener, honestly, but even the snippets I've caught make their stuff seem more polished and substantial than Gwen Stefani’s solo work (not that I listen to either, so I realize I have zero authority here)

No Doubt for sure!!!

I mean, I think Gwen Stefani is great—both solo and with the band, she’s gorgeous—but her individual tracks can be a bit bland...

I read somewhere that No Doubt might actually get back together...

I honestly feel like Tragic Kingdom is such a fantastic album! 🙂

Oh, right—I totally forgot to mention that she’s basically just a massive pain in the neck for everyone involved 🤮

RULES

If we’re talking pure music—No Doubt.
But if we're looking at everything else? Definitely Gwen Stefani.

No Doubt had so many killer tracks that never even made it to the radio, you know? Personally, my absolute favorite is always Sunday Morning, Running 😍
And Gwen... hmmm... 🤔 I feel like she’s more of a major fashion icon than just a singer.

My bad... totally my mistake! I didn't realize it came off as an ad, I honestly just thought it fit the topic, but hey, no big deal... I definitely take the blame for that one!

So... like I mentioned before, I was browsing online and found out they’re actually recording a new album! I am seriously so excited for it to drop! I also read that it’s going to have that classic sound we all fell in love with—you know, staying true to their old-school vibe. I guess I don't really want Gwen Stefani to ditch the band for her solo career entirely, since she seems to be finding her groove there lately, but man, I really hope this isn't some "final" album situation. It would be so awesome if they could just keep the momentum going and keep making music together after this one is out!
I guess my absolute favorite has to be Trapped in a Box... even though it’s one of their older tracks! Back then, they just felt so incredibly original, you know? Maybe it was just that early energy, but man, they were something else! 😍

Honestly, both Gwen Stefani and No Doubt are just top-tier. I actually read somewhere that they’re already working on a new album...
