Consider this a rework of my 2020 Album Diary. Instead of listening to 3 albums a day, I will just list my favorite thing I've heard that day. As well a give some honorable mentions if I want. Nothing complex, just a fun little lighthearted thing in contrast to the insane list last year.

If there is a * next to an album, I think it's incredible and highly recommend it
