White Album is a very powerful Stand indeed, but I placed him in Tier 3 for a reason. Take a look at Tier 2, it contains Stands that have either one shot one kill ability (like Purple Haze, Beach Boy, or the ultra trained Silver Chariot, being able to almost kill Diavolo during the encounter in Colosseum), have some form of invincibility (like Sticky Fingers and Oasis), or are plain broken (like Kraft Work). Same like I said for Gold Experience, if I could I would place White Album iin Tier 2.5, but in my opinion it just doesn't have that thing what other Tier 2 Stands have.

Grateful Dead is a strong Stand, but is also easy to counter. As you can remember, all you needed was a cold drink to almost completely negate its effect. The user was lucky enough that the fight took place in the train, where there was no wind that can cool bodies, and thus create even bigger chilling than a glass of cold water.

Again, Man in the Mirror is by no means a weak Stand, it just has glaring weaknesses. First of all it is completely and mercilessly countered by all ability Stands (like White Album or Oasis), because they are permanently bound to the user, and thus will enter mirror world. Second of all, even if you are dragged without your Stand, all you need is a simple gun to overpower Man in the Mirror, who is not a physically powerful, nor a fast Stand.

Notorious B.I.G. is invinvible, that is enough of a reason to put him in Tier 1. Even King Crimson wouldn't be able to defeat it. Perhaps the only way to get rid of it is by a matter erasing Stand, like Cream or The Hand. Even then, it is almost impossible to do.

You said you have more things to say about this tier list, so please let me know, I would gladly like to hear some other opinions and maybe change something on my list.
