Most of the works I'm reading are by authors that were active in the 70's and 80's (and some are active still), and thus I buy a lot of stuff from the big publishers.

Could you recommend some good works from the period? I missed most of it too (I grew up in the Soviet Union and fantasy was a frowned-upon genre there, so very little fantasy was locally available in those times). I did read some fantasy from the 80's later on, mostly as used paperbacks. Generally I find that I like newer fantasy better, but there might be many good authors I'm not even aware of.
