The Spin Doctors are a New York group led by Chris Barron, who rocked a very disheveled look at the time. They were tagged an “alternative” band, which was good for marketing purposes, since it made them sound edgy. Really, they were a rock band with pop appeal, and in 1993 there was a huge demand for their sound, especially among Top 40 radio stations who were pushing back against the tide of hip-hop.
Their first single, “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” was a modest hit, climbing to #17 in the US. “Two Princes” did far better, becoming their biggest hit and best-known song. Both songs were composed by the entire band: Baron, Aaron Comess, Eric Schenkman and Mark White.
