It's really not all that common for a band's first song to be their biggest hit.
Unless they're a one hit wonder.
Third Eye Blind is NOT a one hit wonder.
No, their lead vocalist - Stephan Jenkins - wrote a hell of a killer hook that was easy to remember as an homage to "Walk On The Wild Side".
What materialized was a pretty solid pop-rock hit that grew out of modern rock radio and straight to pop radio. It was one that Jenkins didn't initially want to release as the band's debut single - he felt other songs were more representative.
I think it worked out OK for them.
So what made me think about Third Eye Blind after literally thirty years?
They played the Orange Bowl on January 1st.
They didn't sound terrible.
