As with any piece of creative work, it's appreciation is subjective. And there's always the person who will make themselves dislike something just because "everyone else" likes it.
I've not read your two examples, so I can't comment on them. It seems to me that any fan of fantasy, in general, at least respects LOTR for its originality, even if they don't particularly "like" it.

Is there a universally liked fantasy book?

I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does.

Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad

That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM*

Yes, trying to read it for the first time aged 19 wasn't an enjoyable experience.

More like having your love for it curdle into hate after reading the Mallorean, Elenium & Tamuli

Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one)

I would've thought Tigana.

I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't.
