7 Great Third Eye Blind Songs If You Just Give Them a Chance (Video)

Third Eye Blind is a great band. People wrongly hate them because their first big song had “doo doo doo” in the hook, or they blame them for songs actually recorded by other artists. But Third Eye Blind was doing great things long before they hilariously trolled the Republican National Convention.  Here are 7 songs that might make you like them.

“Never Let You Go” has a Lou Reed-like simplicity, and is catchy as hell. But the catchiness of Third Eye Blind songs conceal lyrics that are complicated, personal and hyper-sexual.

Third Eye Blind once recorded an entire album about what’s it’s like to break up with Charlize Theron. (It happened to singer Steven Jenkins.) This song is from that album.

I know, they’re from the ’90s. But go to a Third Eye Blind show and half the people are in their twenties and they sing along with every song. I don’t know why. It’s weird. This is “Motorcycle Drive-By” and it’s a masterpiece.

Did you know the doo-doo-doo song is about crystal meth and oral sex? Listen again. One thing I love about Jenkins’ lyrics is that his lyrical flow is more like Del the Funky Homosapien’s than anyone other artists. Am I overselling this now? OK.
