A Place in the Sun by Lit
A Place in the Sun is an album by Lit, released in 1999. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 95 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “My Own Worst Enemy”, on 64 lists and voted number one five times.
A Place in the Sun, Lit's second album, was released by RCA on February 23, 1999, carrying the band's own Dirty Martini imprint as well, with Don Gilmore producing. It's the sound of a band with a full tank and the top down: fast, bright, cocky guitar rock where every chorus is built to be yelled along with.
A. Jay Popoff, Jeremy Popoff and Allen Shellenberger were all in the lineup, and they keep things lean and punchy. "My Own Worst Enemy" is the one that stuck, a rowdy singalong with a hook you can't shake, and "Miserable" and "Zip-Lock" kept the party going.
