    Are the above sentences grammatical and meaningful?

    1 is OK (but the "such" is not needed; maybe the first "own" also).
    2 is unintelligible.

    Yes.


    Yes what?


    Tom had his list of the best drummers, and I had mine.



    maybe this example ( ... his own list of the best drummers ...)
    highlights the futility of asking this type of question

    (more than the other examples do)


    because...... in a real situation, a Sentence would be
    more concrete... and mention The Rolling Stones GOAT list,
    Ringo Star, etc.
