New York City's Spin Doctors were true '90s trendsetters, demonstrating that there was as much room in modern "alternative" rock for one-hit wonders with a catchy tune or two as there was in the pre-alternative days of the early '80s. Their 1991 debut Pocketful of Kryptonite contained the radio megahits "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and "Two Princes," which propelled the shaggy neo-hippie act from intimate clubs to enormous amphitheaters in less than a year. Their 1994 follow-up Turn It Upside Down and 1996's You've Got to Believe in Something were largely ignored by the public, and the band was dropped by Epic in late 1996, foreshadowing the eventualfate of many "popular" contemporary acts. Interestingly, the Spin Doctors won a large settlement from Miller in 1997 after courts found that the brewery used "Two Princes" in a beer commercial without proper authorization.

In the spring of 1999 the band returned with a new album, Here Comes the Bride, released on Das/Universal.
