Continuing along is Third Eye Blind, who if this was done when I was in 8th grade would be right next to Linkin Park at the top
Wiki Says: Third Eye Blind (sometimes abbreviated 3eb) is an American alternative rock band formed in the early 1990s in San Francisco. The band's current line-up is Stephan Jenkins (vocals, guitar), and Brad Hargreaves (drums, percussion). Guitarist Kryz Reid and bassist Abe Millet have replaced the departed Tony Fredianelli and Arion Salazar respectively, though their official status in the group has yet to be announced.
After the success of their eponymous debut album in 1997, the band released one more album, 1999's Blue, before guitarist Kevin Cadogan was released under controversial circumstances. In 2003, the band released Out of the Vein. In 2008, the band released the digital EP Red Star. After a six year hiatus from releasing a full length album Ursa Major was released on August 17, 2009. A fifth album, Ursa Minor, is currently being work on as well.
The band is best known for the singles "Semi-Charmed Life", "How's It Going to Be", "Jumper" and "Never Let You Go", as well as other popular songs such as "Graduate", "Motorcycle Drive By" and "Wounded".

Third Eye Blind is better than what people know of them ("Semi-Charmed Life" and "Jumper", both songs I like very much). Their best two albums (by acclaim and their own opinions) are their two most recent which most people have never heard. If you like their older stuff, maybe the newer songs aren't for you as it is different, but not too much. I do like how recently they have had much more attitude in their music. Songs like "Danger", "Don't Believe a Word" and "Non-Dairy Creamer" are much more political, showing that 3eb is more than a pop-rock band.
Up Next: A band that had only one album, but are one of the more influential punk bands of all time
