1. No Doubt - Settle Down
2012 belonged to No Doubt. I may be a little biased, as I have been their biggest fan since I was about 10 years old (shit, it's been 18 years???) No Doubt celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2012 with the release of their 6th studio album Push & Shove, after an incredible 11 year hiatus. The band never broke up, but rather went their own ways - started families, collaborated with a variety of artists, and not to mention Gwen's successful but short-lived solo career. They have been creating this album on-and-off for a few years, finally seeing the light of day right before my birthday in September (how did I get so many amazing musical gifts for my bday?!?!?). "Settle Down" seemed to pick right up where the band left up on Rock Steady and was a great foreshadow of what to expect with their latest album. Here's to 2013 bringing us all some more great No Doubt tunes and not the beginning of another 11-year drought!
