500 Punk/Hardcore albums
you need to listen…

Feeling like a poser sometimes? You show up at shows, but half the time you have no clue what’s on everyone else’s T-shirt.
You nod along when someone says “oh, that record is legendary”, but secretly you’ve never even heard it.
You can’t name three Negative Approach songs without peeking at Discogs.
And when someone drops Siege or Totalitär in conversation, you just change the subject.
Don’t worry — we’ve all been there. This project gives you one essential album every weekday (Mon–Fri), with cover art, a short story, and links to actually listen.
By the end you’ll know your Out of Step from your Out of Vogue, and you’ll never feel lost in the pit again.

How it works

1 — Start

Create your session and get a personal link. It’s your own route through the 500.

2 — Weekdays only

Every Mon–Fri at midnight (Europe/Budapest) you get one album with a short blurb, cover, and Spotify / YouTube Music links.

3 — Progress

Mark it as listened. Didn’t listen? It moves to the end of your queue. Finish all 500 like a champ.
