With 2023 recently coming to a close, there is an abundance of "top lists" circulating. This is great because I am a sucker for purposefully put-together recaps. I can't get enough, give me all the top songs of the year, top trends of the decade, and the top movies/shows...I must know! I'm loving "Rewind the '90s" series on Hulu, especially the episode on MTV's TRL Countdown (no surprise there, more top-curated content 🔢). So, I decided it would be fun to put together a "Top 5 of 2023" for Martin Engineering.
