The Triumphant Return of the Weekly Top 5.

Welcome to another installment of When The Sun Hits' weekly obsessions. You may have noticed that Danny and I took an extended vacation from weekly Top 5 lists in recent weeks; we both absolutely needed to hit our proverbial reset buttons. But now we're celebrating our triumphant return to our Weekly Top 5 lists. Huzzah!

For the uninformed, our weekly Top 5 Records lists include older and classic LPs and EPs for you to revisit, as well as brand new releases, so that you can keep your finger on the pulse of new artists and still rock out to classics. It's a great way to give old and new bands exposure, plus we just like making lists, because we are music nerds like that.

We've archived all of the previous weeks for your browsing enjoyment, which you can find in the right side bar, if you're curious about such things.
