I didn't read the entire thread (sorry...), but I have to vote Moorcock. Not because he is the worst, but because I love the idea of Elric, and the whole set up. But the writing is really abysmal, dull, colorless. I was surprised that so many people like his stuff, but Ï also was a big fan of books as a kid that I go back to now and find shockingly badly written. But the ideas were awesome.

Also, since someone mentioned Zelazny (who has a lot of good stuff), I recently re-read "The Changing Land". Wow, that was not well written. And mostly dull.
