![]() I’d heard lots of hip-hop, and lots of what we called “alternative” rock, but Jenkins’ delivery landed somewhere in the perplexing middle of those styles. I still find it funny that we had the patience and focus to give it our complete attention. My friend Ryan had bought it on a trip to the mall one day (along with Green Day’s Dookie), and when we got back to his house, we settled down on his bedroom floor to listen to it all the way through on his boombox. ![]() Likewise, I recall my introduction to Third Eye Blind, which came in a jewel case with blurry, bright red cover art of a woman who seems to be laughing, part of her face obscured by a hand. For my birthday that year, I received the first two albums in my collection: the Mission: Impossible soundtrack and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s Bad Hair Day. The poppy post-grunge band happened to arrive on the scene around the time I was beginning to buy CDs.
