Super25Smasher Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The big 4 of Pop Punk Green Day,My Chemical Romance,Fall Out Boy,Panic! At The Disco.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 The big 4 of Pop Punk Green Day,My Chemical Romance,Fall Out Boy,Panic! At The Disco. I've been thinking about this recently, and I feel like Green Day doesn't belong in that group simply for being a whole decade older. I feel like maybe these two big fours of pop punk might work better: 90sGreen DayBlink-182The OffspringSum 41 00'sFall Out BoyMy Chemical RomancePanic!

Rutlefan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) The Big Four of "Drivers' Cars" (not the same as performance cars -- handling and dynamics vs power and speed): Lotus (always a good buy for the fun-loving masochist)Alfa Romeo (the recent return to RWD marks the return to essential "Alfa-ness")BMW (a bit over-rated since the mid-'00s, but before that every bit deserving of the reputation)Mazda (always have had a sporting nature to their cars, but their current line-up of suburban warriors is easily the best of the bunch for the soccer moms and dads who like to drive a genuine car, as opposed to a web-connected appliance)You can't have a list of "drivers' cars" without including Porsche. I left out Porsche as they're kind of like Rush in that they are in a class of one, combining Ferrari performance and Aston build quality at Mercedes prices. I'm thinking that Porsche is as much in the "Performance Car" category (and even luxury car with some models) as "Driver's Car" ... part Lotus/Alfa but part Ferrari/Aston Martin as well. I was thinking of those companies who either historically (BMW) or currently (Mazda) emphasize dynamics even in an otherwise unremarkable car (unremarkable in terms of performance or luxury). Porsche mostly only makes remarkable cars, but when they don't -- such as the 914, 924, 986 and 987 base Boxster -- the result can be very unremarkable for a driver's car. In any event, not intended as a slight as I'm like this guy, in that my two favorite car companies are far and away Porsche and Alfa (not a close third). This guy's ticket to a job with Singer (makes modernized air-cooled 911s) was his custom Alfa Giulia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9LdyVWY6yw Edited January 12, 2018 by Rutlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
