Actually it's impossible, one of them explicitly noted choosing a work over Lyonesse, which pretty much blew my impression of that list then and there.
It'd be one thing if it were a list of ``50 Fantasy books people should read, w/ cross-reference to classics'', but Lyonesse is a trilogy where the middle book was awarded World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1990, and it's really a travesty that the first book in the trilogy didn't win any awards (anyone know what else was up that year?).
