Well we're startin to get down to the nitty gritty with this countdown. Following Dan's 5 & 6, here's my 3 & 4, but not in that order ...
Third Eye Blind: Best Songs Countdown
4. Anything from Blue: The fact that this song ends at just under 2 minutes always bothered me because for a while it was the only song I really liked on Blue. As the rest of the album grew on me, I think I actually started to appreciate this song more. Mostly because usually the first song I like on an album falls out of favor with me once I start liking the rest of the album. This song didn't, possibly because it was never a radio hit. It's also one of the few songs that I can listen to 3 or 4 times in a row.
... Excuse me while I go get my 3EB songs out of my car ...
... ok, I'm back ...
3. God of Wine from Third Eye Blind (Self-titled): Dan makes a great point about the continuity in Jenkins' writing and the fact that Jenkins is able to write so much about relationships and still make it interesting is so amazing to me. I love this song mostly for Jenkins' playfulness with words, but also because I'm a sucker for rockers that play quiet too. I can make this point about any of the Top 5, maybe even Top 10, but I'll reiterate that this is another song I could probably listen to 3 or 4 times in a row. There's just something about the wordplay and the sonic subtlety of each of these songs that I can't get enough of. Man I'm excited about Tuesday.

My no4 is Motorcycle Driveby...the next part of the relationship arc where you're in the just broke up regretful stage. No3 is Background, an awesome song about that special someone that never worked out but you always carry them around with no matter what.
