Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
My first album on this journey! Only song I knew before listening was Somebody to Love - one of my favorite songs from the 60s. Aged great, imo. Enjoyable album all the way through. Grace's voice is incredible; I would give this album a 5 if she was in more songs.
Standout tracks: She Has Funny Cars, Somebody to Love, Comin' Back to Me, White Rabbit, Go to Her
4/5

Day two! Massive Attack.
It felt like some of the tracks dragged on for quite a bit, especially 'Five Man Army'. I liked the beginning of that one but I thought the song was over when I had 2 minutes to go. 'Daydreaming' was honestly downright cringe.
There was a one song though that I caught myself bopping to, that being 'Be Thankful For What You've Got'. So it wasn't all bad. But still, 1/5.

Day 3! My first soul/funk album. I never was a big fan of this genre type, although it always has fun & groovy vibes. Some of the songs I enjoyed: 'Little Child Runnin' Wild' and 'No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song)'. But others were very boring and dragged on — those being 'Freddie's Dead' and 'Give Me Your Love (Love Song)'
Overall, great album, but not really my thing. 2/5

Day 4 - Dookie
I love blink, but I've never listened to Green Day besides knowing the hits, so I was looking forward to this one. Immediately starting with Burnout - I loved it and it set the vibes of the rest of the album. Easy 5/5
Standout songs: Burnout, Welcome To Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, In The End

Day 5 - Blur's Blur
This was fine. None of the tracks impressed me, and I only found a couple that I wanted to skip. I was starting to get really bored by the end.
Song 2 is an old favorite, so I'm biased for that. But I still have to give it a 1/5 because that's the only song I particularly enjoyed out of the 14.

Stevie Wonder
Day 6 - Fulfillingness' First Finale
I was surprised to see this Stevie album on this list, and I didn't know any songs before listening. But it was a great album! I loveeee his voice so much and most of the beats were really fun to jam to. The album flows so easily. 'You Haven't Done Nothin'' reminds me of 'Superstition'. 5/5!
Standout songs: Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, Too Shy to Say, Boogie on Reggae Woman, and Creepin'
