I actually found the Death Gate Cycle by those two to be superior.
Seconding Mistborn being missing from the list, along with a very underrated Coldfire Trilogy by CS Friedman (I know I've pimped that one here before).
And for my Nerd Heresy moment...Tolkien is INCREDIBLY overrated in my mind. Incredibly dry, unnecessarily verbose writing style. I'll give him credit - he absolutely set the stage for fantasy novels for decades to come. That said, he's superseded by countless other authors.
