I've just had a good look through my Main Range list and I own 171 of the 260 currently released (65%). I have all of the first 100, so there are plenty of gaps in my collection. I only have 20-odd after 200, etc.
I do like a rating (apologies for that) and my cream of the crop are (3.5% of my collection)
Spare Parts Night Thoughts The Magic Mousetrap The Wrong Doctors The Silver Turk Aquitaine
A further 18 sit just under my classics (10.5%) and I've always thought that the 7th is my favourite Doctor, so taking all of the above here's how they divide up by Doctor:
7th = 8 5th and 6th = 7 each 8th = 2
So pretty even with the 7th just pipping the 5th and 6th. The 8th is a bit distorted due to his much fewer appearances overall.
And yes, no Chimes of Midnight in my favourites. Sacrilege!

Neither is Jubilee.
We will be hunted down for heresy...
I am with you on Spare Parts, Night Thoughts and Aquitaine. I also love Seasons of Fear, Scherzo, And the Pirates and of course the Wormery.

I must say, whilst I do love ‘Chimes’ it is by no means my favourite. Personally agree with most of your list to be honest. I myself rather like ‘Fever Island’ and ‘Night of the Stormcrow’

I too like a rating, so I can't blame you there. I've only kept track of what I've listened to since I went back to start from the beginning late last summer. Chimes sits proudly at the top of my own leaderboard, so how dare you have a different opinion from me.
Using your metrics, out of 43 releases, I've got 9 on the A-List (20.9%), and 18 on the B-List (41.8%).
I've only gone outside the MR for the first series of Benny so far, and I've lumped her in on the same list just like I'll do for any BF series because I'm lazy. So my breakdown would be:
Five - 5 Six - 8 Seven - 6 Eight - 6 Benny - 2
Not surprising data, now that I actually look at it. I am biased in favor of 7 and 8, and Sixie has had a very good batting average. Five has seemed the weakest of the MR Doctors, and thus far (midway through Sandman) Spare Parts is his only A-List release. And as for Benny, I really didn't like most of Series 1, so there we are.

I think Chimes and Jubilee are overrated too. Good but not great. My personal favourite is Eye of the Scorpion. Anyhow, it's all subjective. 😁

I don’t get why so so many love chimes of midnight..........or holy terror, jubilee or shizro (or how ever you spell it) And don’t mention zagreaus
But not having son of the dragon is almost unforgivable......lol
Death in the family is one of my top three but only really works if you followed all hex and Evelyn’s adventures.......

A great introduction to Erinem and it perfectly handles the whole ‘alien in historical setting’ idea that the revived series has made its bread and butter on.

In no particular order: Requiem for the Rocket Men Time in Office The Revenants The Cold Equations Seasons of Fear Last of the Colophon The Selachian Gambit Interesting choice with ‘Last of the Colophon’ Don’t hear many people discuss that particular release. Mind elaborating why you like it so much?

Mind elaborating why you like it so much? It’s a romp, good characterisation of Leela and the Doctor, Gareth Thomas is wonderfully unhinged, Leela gets to demonstrate her unique talents, it feels like something we’d have seen on TV jn the 70s.

The Top two always juggle themselves for first and second place.....
And Iterations of I The Magic Mousetrap Seasons of fear Static Aquitaine Foe from the future Fairytale of Salzburg/better watch out The mouthless Dead
Might be better if we spereate each range then it will be different again. The glorious revolution DEEPTIME frontier
Primords would slip in and out at moment just to give each Doctor a shot and The Doctors Tale is getting a lot of listens

I am just afraid of the amount of cheese.
