Excluding Valar
-Sauron: Yeah, he's just the best
-Gandalf: Close to Sauron actually
-Saruman: As strong as Gandalf, but a little less so.
-Balrog: He's maiar, he has to get fourth.
-Galadriel: Better than Elrond, closest to being a full fledged Maiar.
-Elrond: Not as powerful as Gladdy, but still good.
-Witch-King: Except for that pesky Achilles Heel...or should I say "sinew behind his mighty knee".
-Treebeard: Yup, he's powerful
-Smaug: EVERYONE FORGOT HIM! Just because he was taken down by an archer doesn't mean he's not powerful. The witch-King got killed by a woman and hobbit anyway.
-Shelob: Stupid hobbits and their phials of light and pointy knives.
