The Vinyl Frontier – Linkin Park’s Debut Album
This week’s Vinyl Frontier features a turn of the century album, and debut from Linkin Park. My friend, Chris, got this one for me. The band just celebrated the 20th anniversary of Meteora a few weeks back, and dropped a new anniversary package for that record. You can hear my interview with Dave “Phoenix” Farrell from the band about that, and more, here.
Hybrid Theory came out on October 24, 2000 and went on to sell more that 4.8 million copies. This album also garnered a lot of accolades and awards for the guys.
The Vinyl Frontier is brought to you each week by Dearborn Music.

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. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
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.
