I was not expecting WoT at #1. Especially not when basically everything else on this list was things I hadn't experienced. And doubly so because, as KP acknowledges, Wheel of Time has some really huge faults.

I like Wheel of Time for what it is. I went back and reread the whole series from scratch when Sanderson's first work was coming out. I came to appreciate a few of the characters a little more, and the book 7-9 slog wasn't nearly so bad, but I still swore to myself afterward that I was never going to read another fantasy doorstop again. I'd come to realize how much more enjoyable reading books under 600 pages was, and although I've broken my rule a few times -- especially when a series gradually gets longer -- if someone said a series was the new Wheel of Time, I don't think I'd be interested, even as much as I respected what Sanderson did to close out the series.

I still have my WoT CCG cards, though. Anyone want to play?
