Today's music challenge is the first album you ever bought. Mine was the classic Ride The Lightning. I think I bought this Metallica classic mostly for the cover way back when, but the record obviously grew on me. I remember not being crazy about it at first.
This is that original album. I do recall DJ'n in my basement and always playing "Fade To Black" off of this record. I own all of Metallica's stuff, on all sorts of formats in one way or the other.
You can use the hashtag #MeltdownsJMC and post your first musical purchase.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family.

Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
