I did not want to hijack that other "top 10" thread so I figured we could start our own top 10 list of best porn performers.
Everyone can list there top 10 ONLY once. The names most mentioned will make the ALL-TIME top 10 list from us porn afficianodos.
I will keep tabs on the names (since school is almost done - I will have the time.)
Some simple ground rules are in order:
1. No hijacking this thread for any other purposes than to list your top 10. Go argue somewhere else.
2. Your list MUST include 10 names or no one on it will be considered.
3. This is a fun, informal, unscientific poll - don't take it TOO seriously.
4. There are no criteria for making the list - it could be looks, performace, longevity, etc.
5. No str8t porn performers allowed.
6. Your list does NOT have to be in any kind of order - but the final list will be. The one with the most votes gets number one spot, second most gets number two, and so on.
7. Cut off date will be Midnight (EDT), Monday, June 30th, 2003. That is a good solid two weeks for everyone to vote. And the results will be posted shortly thereafter.
I think that sums it up. I have to think about my list - so who wants to go first? This post was edited 6/16/2003 10:12:29 AM by JONinSNJ.

No particular order here. I just tried to pick performers who’ve shown endurance over the years and have contributed in unique ways to the biz:
1. Michael Brandon (Longevity. Who else performing in front of the camera today goes back to the Joey Stefano days?) 2. Michael Lucas (From performer to producer of vids with a NY setting and more natural models) 3. Dick Masters (I honestly don’t think anyone was/is bigger) 4. Joey Stefano (A timeless “look” and a sad story) 5. Al Parker (Versatile masculinity, and also a “look” that was definitive for the time period. Performer turned producer. Introduced many activities that weren’t ordinarily seen in mainstream) 6. Kristin Bjorn (Performer to producer. Broke the mold emphasizing ethnic models) 7. Scott O’Hara (Took chances with his “appearance” and bucked the system) 8. Tom Chase (Size and versatility) 9. Jon Vincent (King of dirty talk) 10. Scott Taylor (Unique in that he was extremely popular yet never did the deed with another guy on vid) 4nic8 View Profile Edit Post (Posted 6/17/2003 3:59:00 PM)

These guys remained on the list because they're beautiful, versatile, have great bodies and on-screen energy, and can top as well as they bottom. The other guys belong on the list too, dammit! katieboy View Profile Send Email Edit Post (Posted 6/17/2003 5:23:00 PM)

Kyle McKenna - helped set the standards for bottoms 6. Tuck Johnson - a good top, a better bottom 7. Max Grand - so handsome, so hot 8. Stonie - an ass that doesn't quit 9.

My list is skewed towards the newer generation:
1) Eric Hanson (particularly with Hairy Chest) 2) Joey Stefano (always so horny) 3) Lukas Ridgeton (those eyes, and areas lower) 4) Pavel Novotny/Max Orloff (so buff) 5) Tim Lowe (one of the first porn stars that I ever saw--loved his gravelly voice) 6) Colby Taylor (love his all-around sex appeal) 7) Zachary Scott (tall, blond and able to suck his own schlong) 8) DC Chandler (I question whether I should have him on an all-time list since he's so new, but I'm so fuckin' in love with him that I can't resist) 9) Kevin Williams (power bottom for two generations of porn) 10) Sean Cody (Granted, he doesn't always perform in his videos, but he does enough that he can make the list, and he deserves credit for getting us all those hunky str8 boys on film) bradyman10 View Profile Send Email Edit Post (Posted 6/19/2003 12:34:00 AM)

For me the performance is a big part of what makes a star, not just the body and looks. These aren’t really the top 10 of all-time since so many performers come and go and several of them are still in the biz. Ten of my HORNY favorites that often put in good performances.
An impossible task, since my own personal crushes change every day. But for the sake of playing, in no special order:

Joe T (Posted 6/20/2003 5:56:00 PM) Boy, talk about "skewed to recent performers!" Is everybody really young, or just have short memories?
Since the question was "top" performers and not "favorite" performers, I'm going by people who made a big splash, or were involved in groundbreaking moments, or had great longevity, etc. Historically important, that sort of thing.
Casey Donovan (how come almost no one mentioned him? He's the father of us all!)
Jack Wrangler
Mike Henson
Al Parker
Jeff Stryker (unfortunately)
Ryan Idol (also unfortunately)
Max Grand
Joey Stefano
Lukas Ridgston
Zak Spears
My honorable mentions would go to Michael Christopher, Tom Chase, Steve Cassidy, and especially Tom LeDuc, my personal all time favorite.
Whoa... that's completely out of line. We just don't talk to each other that way here. There are plenty of women that are interested in gay porn, and like to post in the gay forum. Women are more than welcome here, so I don't think it's unnatural for someone to wonder what sex a poster in the gay forum is.
I didn't read French's question as an attack on your masculinity, it just sounded like an honest question to me.
I do agree women have right to post or discuss here. But I prefer pure gay's discussion in this board.
str8 men care about women while a gay likes to talk about men. I have no interest to hear a woman saying sth in a gay forum. Like most horny str8, they always talk about women's face, curve, body, etc. I don't wanna talk with any woman in here. I think it's really disgusting to think of me as a woman, no matter it's the humor or whatever. Maybe you don't care, but it's more like an offensive remark to me.
If anyone here said he is a female, I'll respect your post and words, but I won't talk with you. And please don't reply my post if you wanna talk about anything related to the woman. That's my rule.
Fytopca, I don't know how to break this to you, but I'm a woman, and you've already responded to one of my posts--on this recent thread.
I know that sexism is not strictly the province of straight males, but it still makes me sad to read your views. They're a little ironic, too, don'cha think? I mean, quite often when straight males are homophobic, that attitude can be traced back to sexism. If you ask them what's wrong with gays, their perception is that gays are somehow "feminine" or "womanly" (a stereotype that I don't agree with, BTW). In essence, they're saying that there's something substandard about being female, which is the same idea you seem to be expressing here.
Not that I feel personally very hurt by it. I've been here quite a while now. I'll most likely still be here long into the future.
I'm a straight but broadminded male who enjoys all kinds of porn, some of it gay. I don't think anyone has the right to dictate what category one has to fall into to be able to participate in this forum. Let's try to be a little more openminded and to give people the acceptance that we would want for ourselves.
I don't have nearly the knowledge that a lot of you do about gay performers, so I'll just list ten that I like. Most of these are on the twinky side, but I also like the leather daddies sometimes:
Lukas Wink Roy Stratton Sasha Leskov Mario Fox Jeff Palmer Leo Ford Johann Paulik Tim Hamilton Paul Carrigan Christian Owen
Since I don't post in the forum where this discussion originated, I'll give my two cents here. I tried to pick a bunch that represented the spectrum of the last 20 or so years:
Kip Noll Jon King Kevin Williams Randy Cochran Lukas Ridgeston Zak Spears Mike Branson Spike Blake Harper Matthew Rush
Malkira--I'm sure I could look this up, but who is Sasha Leskov?
Hard to put him on the list based on three performances (none of which I have seen--I wasn't really impressed with the one scene from a Dolphin video that I did see), but he is a looker.
Like I said, I was just picking guys that I like, I'm not saying they're all hall of famers. I really like androgenous types, as long as they're not effeminate acting. I liked Sasha in Maric's Weekend. I haven't seen too many Dolphin videos, but from what I have seen, they seem too be heavy on cute boys, short on hot sex.
Not to hijack the thread, but I like a lot of dirty talk. Can anyone recommend a Jon Vincent DVD where he's especially filthy?
I'll have to think on my top ten and get back on this. I can tell you two who won't be on it - Jeff Stryker and Ryan Idol. Their gay for pay, no kissing, no do nothing attitude turns me off!
I'm not sure this list qualifies to be counted in the ALL TIME greatest voting, but here are my thoughts on the all time greatest PRE-CONDOM stars. Anyway, these guys probably won't get enough votes to matter since so few people remember them these days.
10. Jack Wrangler 9. Fred Halsted 8. J.D. Slater 7. J.W. King 6. Leo Ford 5. Lee Ryder 4. Jon King 3. Casey Donovan 2. Mike Henson
and Number 1 by far:
1. Al Parker
Honorable mention: Richard Locke, Keith Anthoni, Dick Fisk, Big Bill Eld.
I think Jack Wrangler and I know J.D. Slater (of Raging Stallion) are still with us but I think the rest, sadly, have gone to that great glory hole in the sky.
1 - REX CHANDLER (no one is better, no one is greatter!) 2 - Kevin Williams 3 - Lukas Ridgeston 4 - Pavel Novatny 5 - Dano Sulik 6 - Jeremy Jordan 7 - Matthew Rush 8 - Jeff Palmer 9 - Tom Chase 10 - Derek Cameron
