Third Eye Blind

Along with such peers as Tonic and Matchbox Twenty, San Francisco's Third Eye Blind broke through at a crucial juncture in the '90s music scene. In between the twilight of grunge (from which they took some influence) and the ascendancy of nu-metal, Third Eye Blind championed the values of straight-ahead pop-rock with sparkling hooks and vocal harmonies featured alongside hard-hitting guitars and drums in equal measure. They hit it big straight out of the gate, with the infectious single "Semi-Charmed Life" from their self-titled 1997 debut album, and kept going strong past the turn of the century.
