I'd make a case for Alfred Bester, also Harry Harrison.
Stanislaw Lem, no question
Lem and Dick for me !

"The Stainless Steel Rat" ftw!

I listened to "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi but I didn't get into it. Mind you the first audio-book I'd listened to in a long time.

Frank Herbert, soon finished with Chapterhouse (fuckings to his son for sending the series into the "Young adult" category)
Peter F Hamilton, soon finished with Pandoras Star.

Indeed. But I've read all Dune-books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. In a way, I died a bit inside by doing so. :(
I actually avoided reading the brian herbert books, despite strong temptation. I figured they could only bring disappointment. Now I'm so happy I missed out :)
Speaking of the real mr. herbert though, "the white plague" was good. Not all that 'sci-fi' too, it's probably entirely within the realm of possibility (and probably black ops military research budgets ;)
