Edgar Rice Burroughs belongs on the list. He does seem to eliminate beforehand any writer whose works are largely pre-1926. I would put ERB in the "honorable mention" category, his books are still quite readable & enjoyable today.

Edgar Rice Burroughs certainly, as also Jules Verne.
L Neil Smith would be in a personal list, as well as Dean Ing.
RAH didn’t think to highly of A C Clark if memory serves...
Maybe the “top” list should be longer.....

Edgar Rice Burroughs belongs on the list.So does Harlan Ellison. A conspicuous absence.
