Im not sure its the archetypal hi fi show album but it is damn good.

Later on The Eagles on a travel mix tape started killing our relationship as I obviously wasnt cool enough for her I have a wide taste in music but I just hadnt formulated my cool factor when considering my music collection. The coffee table album stage wasnt long behind me but I was still a bit confused.
With the cool factor I think it is okay to balance it out. Curtis Mayfield will cancel out Dire Straits. Elvis Costello cancels out Sting. And so forth. As long as by the end of the process you have a surfeit of cool: then you have cool tastes.
