I actually liked Third Eye Blind's first album. A lot. Does that make me
a bad person?

No, seriously, that album has like five freakin' hit songs on it. Yet everyone talks shit about it.

Personally, I thought it was awesome.

Alright, mock me! :)

2. Yup, that's them.
Oddly enough, that song isn't on iTunes, although they have the rest of the album.

Weird, eh?

3. Nothing wrong with Third Eye Blind, I dont' think.
I like Christina Aguilera. And the Dixie Chicks- I even liked them before I knew their politics.

4. They actually have really good guitar riffs.
And beats.

And vocals.

I don't know, man. I think they were just a good band, at least on their first album. Great production, arrangements....songwriting....

:shrug:

5. I like "Semi-Charmed Life".
There were some other decent songs from that album, but I am not a fan of the band at all.

6. Yeah, other than that particular album I'm not impressed at all.

But, again, with THAT album....

How's It Going to Be...Losing a Whole Year (LOVE that one)....Jumper....

Don't really like Graduate...oh well.

That's four. That's a solid album, by today's standards.

Who cares what other people think?

There is always someone who will talk smack no matter what you come up with.

10. Awesome album
Actually, I like the non-hits of the album even more: the second half ("Burning Man", "Good for You", "London", "I Want You", "The Background", "Motorcycle Drive By", "God of Wine") is just a beautiful sequence of songs. I like most of the hits, but have just heard them too much.

I definitely don't think liking that album makes you a bad person. It's one of the best mainstream rock albums of the nineties IMHO.

Their follow-ups aren't bad, but not nearly as good as the debut. Blue comes close every once in a while, but their third album was pretty average stuff.

12. It has it all.
It's just a really stand-out album. Of course it got all kinds of play, but never really any kind of credit.
