Third Eye Blind is from San Francisco and are known for biting and challenging songs. "Semi-Charmed Life" was a # 1 hit at Alternative radio and their self-titled album sold 5 million copies worldwide. The band's other chart-topping singles include �Jumper,� �Never Let You," and many more, but the band's more obscure songs like "Motorcycle Drive By" and "Slow Motion" have engendered a new youth movement and cemented the band's unique place in music history.
