The only one on his list I would think about agreeing with is Meiville. - Edit 1

Lev Grossman started this, now see the interesting debate over possible choices over at Crooked Timber. Oh, and feel free to list yours here as well.
My list would include
The Wheel of Time - Jordan
A Song of Ice and Fire - Martin
Perdido Street Station - Mieville
Malazan Book of the Fallen - Erikson
LOTR - Tolkein
American Gods - Gaiman
Yes, most were pimped on wotmania and with good reason. Notable mentions for me would include Hobb, Rawn, Pratchett, Sanderson, and Salvatore (say what you want, but I really enjoyed his Demon Wars novels and Mortalis alone outstanding)
