1. Wimbledon
2. US
3. AO
4. RG
5. Indian Wells
6. Rome/ Shanghai

I am looking at this with a sligthly biased Asia-Pacific viewpoint, as anyone from different regions (eg North America, Latin America, Continental Europe etc) will have different views, depending on extent of media coverage etc.

It seems that we all agree that 1) Wimbledon is first; 2) that US Open is ahead of Australian Open; and RG is number 2, 3, or 4.

Interesting that you rate the Olympics so highly.
You are not the only one, as many Nadal fans incessantly refer to the "Golden Career Grand Slam" etc, as some kind of trump card over Federer, same as Agassi over Sampras etc.
Fact is it is only played once every 4 years, on a different surface to suit the host country.
Even more unusual it is best of 3 sets until the finals, then best of 5.
Under such circumstances even the best players may never win it, there are quite a few no-names that have claimed it so far, and that is not discounting you as a Murray fan rating it very highly (probably helped with his quest to win Wimbledon though).
As you probably know I am a Djokovic fan, and even if he wins it on clay in Rio 2016, it is only really a bragging rights argument, with not a lot of substance.

It is the Olympics. Everyone wants an Olympic gold medal ...... everyone. And the fact it is rare makes it better.

But I have re thought my list swap Olympics with Davis Cup then that's mine.

I'll exclude the Olympics and Davis Cup from the rankings.

1) Wimbledon
2) U.S. Open (#3 if you're European)
3) Roland Garros (#2 if you're European)
4) Australian Open
5) London ATP Finals
6) Indian Wells (most prestigious of Masters 1000 events, also combined men's/women's tournament and larger field)
7) Miami (combined men's/women's tournament and larger field)
8) Monte Carlo (most prestigious men's only tournament)

[Thirty All]

1)Wimbledon
2)Roland Garros
3) US Open
4) Australian Open
5) Indian Wells
6) Miami

The 7th is the WTF..IW and Miami are definitely more prized than Miami...the WTF is not that prestigious imo, because it is such a small tournament
